After a busy week of rehearsals for 'Thenardier's,' 'Project Mayhem' (which I'll be writing a blog about soon), and Improv, I was also rehearsing for our 'Summer Freeze Princess Show & Sing-Along!' A couple weeks ago we had two shows on a Sunday with a bunch of Princesses joining in on the fun!
We had two very sold-out shows with tons of boys and girls singing along and creating magic with us. Pocahontas led us on the adventure this time and was joined by plenty of Princesses from Rapunzel, to Anna & Elsa, Belle, Tiana, and more, including Jasmine, whom I was playing that weekend. We had just gotten a new dress for Jasmine and it was absolutely beautiful and perfect for my character.

As soon as I got on-stage I was mobbed by children who wanted to tell me I was their favorite Princess, they had just watched my movie, or could they sit with me. I'm sure they say that to all the Princesses but I always feel so special as soon as I start talking to them. So while we got the kids up and dancing for a bunch of the songs, we also had them sit down so the Princesses could move about and tell our story that day. When I was sitting, without fail, a little girl would come to sit in my lap, and another would try to fit in as well, and then one would hold my hand. Best feeling in the world!

At the end of the show, we taught the kids 'The Princess Song' which is our original Princess Song written by Dan, our Musical Director at CAC. It's so magical to hear the kids singing along with us on a song that is all our own. At our second show, a bunch of the guys who normally play our Princes and Pirates came to the see the show and support us Princesses; that was so nice of them to show their enthusiasm for the Summer Freeze!
The Princess Shows are always a blast and revitalize my feelings on how much I love children. One eight month old baby got her first photo with a Princess, with me! All those dreams as a little girl of being a Princess one day and they're all coming true <3
