Jessica & Family: Shrek the Musical

As Jessica begins sending photos from Shrek the Musical to me, I am wishing more and more that we had gone out to see her family perform in it.

"Mom, there's an hour and a half where none of us are onstage. Don't come," she'd texted when auditions were over and they'd learned that their family was to play Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

So we took her advice and stayed home. And guess what? Just as what happened when they appeared in Matilda, they all appear in smaller, mini roles throughout this show, too!

Papa and Mama Bear opening night.

"If mama ain't happy, nobody's happy!"  

She and Cambria as humans/villagers/non magical beings.

The only brunette in Lord Farquaad's entourage. (Arrow, bottom right.) Andrew is in this scene, too. (Back row on right, second from left.)

Back in the forest as Mama Bear. (Papa Bear Andrew is also in the scene, in the back mid-right.)

No clue as to what this scene is all about!

Or this one. The entire family is back as the Three Bears and Goldilocks again.

Listening attentively to plans to reclaim their homes in the forest.

Titan and Cambria on the right in front and Mama and Papa Bear in the back. Possibly curtain call. 

The production runs through the end of July so hopefully I will get some more photos as well as a chance to talk to Jessica about the show.

And, if I get the chance, I'd like to go through some old photo albums of shows that Jessica has appeared in through the years. She and her family could not join our family gathering this summer because of Shrek the Musical, and I am missing my girl and her family.
