"We could've been anything that we wanted to be.
Yes, that decision is ours.
It's been decided, we're weaker divided.
Let friendship double up our powers."
This is the first line in the last song of the musical that my kids were in at school. It took up all of our November, and most of December, but it was well worth it. The musical was called "Bugsy Malone" and it was all about gangsters. Not the normal gangsters though, these were all kid gangsters, with silly string guns and pies as their weapons. My kids had a blast singing and dancing with all their friends. They were both in the Chorus. Savannah was in Fat Sam's Band and also she was a "Down and Out" and Nicholas was a customer in Fat Sam's Restaurant and also he was a "Down and Out".
I volunteered to help out with the costumes but when I got to the costume meeting, there was only me and one other mom there and so I ended up being in charge of ALL the girls costumes. Now it's not as bad as it sounds, I had most of the girls get their own costumes but I did have to do some sewing on the dancing girls costumes and some alterations on quite a few of some others. Also my good friend Julie got put in charge of all the props so we spent quite some time searching for many, many things.
My kids had so fun that they both plan on trying out for the next school play, we are hoping it will be in the spring, but if not then for sure in the fall again. Here's a bunch of pictures. And I mean a bunch... I want to make sure that they all go in my blog book and it is easier to put them in now than later when I am putting together my book. Enjoy!!!

Bugsy Malone was one of my favorite movies when I was a little girl. It had Scott Baio (I don't know how to spell it) from Happy Days. Maybe you could find it and watch it. It looks like your kids had fun!
Wow...that's quite the production. Is that middle school? It looks like a ton of fun but a lot of work too. The idea of sewing costumes for it sounds dreadful to me. The things we do for our kids. :)
My kids loved it! I can't believe they sat so still through the whole thing....and they can't wait to see the next play with their cousins in it. :)
