On Sunday afternoon, my daughter Angie treated me to our High School's production of Les Miserables. I thought, oh yes, a fun time with my daughter and she treated. :); )
I have seen a production of this very play at the dinner theater in Indianapolis. Ted and I had been VIP members there for many years. Seen many shows and plays. But we grew weary of repeated shows. Even though each one was so well done.
This play was given with our High School as the cast , along with 2 fourth grade girls and 1 fifth grade boy. I was impressed beyond words. So much talent, not one sour note. Only one glitch in sound, but not for long. This play was given so well, you were pulled into the story of Jean Valjean . It was all singing. I cried , it was so good ! Angie cried too. I will admit I cried at the Phantom Of The Opera (Beef & Boards Dinner Theater) , but the talent of these young people took my breath away.
Speaking of young people....how young is too young for soccer. LOL
Here's my great grandson Max at the soccer field. He's not quite two and a half.
This is Max's daddy Mark. I guess they are just showing the little ones to kick the ball and not pick it up. Lynzie (Max's mommy) says it wears her out. LOL. I think to myself, wait till both boys are playing sports. :)
Today is going to be very warm here. The last few days have been nice. Enjoy your day. XO
I love love love the story of Jean Valjean!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi, Les Misreables is a touching story in itself...but talented young voices sing so well...just made me cry. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI used to enjoy plays in Louisville. That is great that you got to see the excellent performance at the school. Max is learning and getting ready for sports!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I have been to the school for many of the community theater plays also. Great acoustics. I just love how involved Lynzie and Mark are with their two sons. They are blessed. Wishing you good blessing, isn't our weather better?:):) xoxo, Susie
DeleteSo glad that you and your daughter enjoyed the play. Max is learning fast! It's hard to stay indoors when the weather is so nice. xoxo
ReplyDeleteMildred, I have been out everyday now for about a week. LOL. Of course I keep the house up...cause , yuck who wants to come home to an untidy house. LOL. Blessings to you, love , xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, thanks for dropping by Nanaland today! I love meeting new blog friends. I see you all are into soccer as well!! Off to a game this evening for my nine year old grandson.
ReplyDeleteOh...I meant to add that Les Miz is my FAVORITE musical. That music just brings me to tears each time I hear it.
DeleteThank you Arlene. I miss being able to go to kid games as my grands are all grown ...but hoping to see the great grands play. :) The girl that sang"I Had A Dream" gave me chills and I was crying at the end of it. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love plays but very rarely see one. This one sounds like it was awesome. Max is so cute and looks like he's going to be good in soccer. Lots of hugs and love. xo
ReplyDeleteSusie, I am so proud of the parents that Lynzie and Mark are to Luke and Max. Oh I am planning on seeing more play at the school. I actually felt like just right and yelling after some of the songs...they were that awesome. LOL Blessings to you my dear friend, wish I could sit on the porch with you. xoxo,love, Susie
DeleteOh, my! I can’t believe Max is old enough to play! He is so cute! The young are getting younger it seems to get into sports! He has such a good daddy! And mommy!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I like the fact that Max's parents want him to play sports, but at 2 1/2..so young. I can see this age player crying lots.LOL. I remember once when Max's uncle Brock was on third base at age 4 or 5, and he just went to the dugout and sat down instead of running home. LOL. I guess it's at least some exercises. Blessings to you and all the family, love, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh, high school theatre is such a good experience for kids -- and when it is done well, a good experience for the audience, too! Looks like everyone won out here. Bravo to all!
ReplyDeleteJeanie, It was amazing to see how well all these young performers did in the play. Hope they go on with their singing, even if it's the church choir. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour pics look amazing as I'm sure your whole family is too. Such a cute grandson you have there...never too early to start in sports.
ReplyDeleteI love High School Theatre, my son just played Hamilton in their school's production of Hamilton and my I'm so thrilled.
Have a nice day♥

Ann, Thank you. I like seeing kids in sports. At least they are running and jumping. :):) The H.S. kids were the best I have seen. Even my daughter Angie , who does a lot of the community theater plays was impressed, with their acting.. It was their voices that gave me chills and make me cry. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie...we take the kids to live theater at least once a year. LOVE it!!! Our kids love soccer too! and their parents coach. My grandson is in college and still plays! Spring is here, finally. Have a nice Wednesday, my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove you.

Debbie, I like that you take your young ones to live performances. I remember our Savannah sitting next to be at a play, during a scene that is darken for set change...she saw peole moving around carrying things and asked me , "Is this a robbery?" LOL. Oh yes, finally spring. We had about 5 days of nice weather and now rain for a couple days, along with storms. The rub... Blessings to you dear friend. Hope we get to enjoy nice days before the heat of summer. xoxo,love you so much, Susie
DeleteOh my gosh how cute that Max is already showing an interest in sports. Too cute. I bet the performance was great. I love the songs from that play. How nice that you have so much talent right there near you. What a fun time for you and your daughter. I am loving these 80's here and I am sure with you being even further south you are having warm days too. Finally!!! I cannot wait to get my flowers going.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Kris, I love that Max's parent want him in sports. The grandson that totally loved and played about every sports was Jake. Once when he was about four shooting baskets with a nerf ball in the house, he kept saying, "And he scores" so much that Angie turned the lights out in that room ...she said then out of the dark she hears, "And he scores." LOL
DeleteThings are growing now with this super warm weather. I prefer 65 as a high. LOL. I will be getting to Horton's soon. I want wave petunias in all my containers ...plus I am thinking of marigolds to ward away bugs. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
From theater to sports...What a nice mix!Les Mis is one of my favs..Happy May..
ReplyDeleteMissy, It seems our children and grands are into all sorts of entertaining things. I like to see them play baseball....but think the games should be shorter when they are so young. You know a couple of innings, a snack , then a nap...oh maybe that's me. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Deletethat sounds like an amazing experience for all involved!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Laurie. I wish you could have heard those kids sweet voices. I had chills. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat really does some wonderful! I would love to see that production in person and it sounds like you have a lot of talent there! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDiane, You should check into any community theater around you...you will be impressed ...or even audition for a part. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, hello...I read this and didn't get a comment put up..darn! Old age!! Ha! Sometimes these school plays are amazing! So glad you enjoyed this one! Oh my gosh...I can't believe Max is playing soccer! I thought my great at age 6 was young...ha!

DeleteI am not ready for my Max to be so big. :( I want to play on the floor with him and his cars. Blessings, hope you are doing well and staying safe. xoxolove you, Susie
I've not seen this play but I think there was a movie, too, and I saw it..years ago.(I may have this mixed up with something else...I do that...a LOT )
ReplyDeleteBJ, Yes, there's a movie of Les Miserables with Liam Neeson as Jean Valjean. It's the music that just give me chills and touches my heart. Hey, we are getting older together. LOL. Thank God people will forgive us for our forgetfulness. LOL. Blessings to you, love , xoxo, Susie
