High School Musical

If you live in the state of Utah, over the first 3 weeks of November, you could see over 50 different high school musicals. We all do them around the same time of year. Our district alone is doing Brigadoon (played the Daddy in this show my junior year. Loved pulling out the huge medical dictionary as the "family bible", finding the most hideous pictures possible (a tie between a distended gonad and a goiter on someones neck the size of a football) to have Daniel Babcock sign his name on because he was marrying my daughter), West Side Story, My Fair Lady, Guys and Dolls and our production of South Pacific. These 5 high schools are also all within 15 miles of each other.

Also going around the state is the Utah premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, Cinderella, 42nd Street, Titanic, and about 44 others.

Why go and spend your hard earned $8.00 ($7.00 if you're a elementary, middle or high school student) to see a falling chandelier, tap numbers, princesses in gigantic pumpkins or sinking ships when you can come and see South Pacific at Riverton High School this upcoming Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday nights at 7:00pm?

You'll hear Some Enchanted Evening (a lot- when Rodgers found a good tune, you'll hear it enough times in the show that you will need a lobotomy to remove it), Bali Hai, Honey Bun and all those other great songs. Also, we hired ScentEvents (a company in Los Angeles that works with hotels and the movie business) to custom make us some fragrances that the audience will smell at certain points in the show. It's kinda cool.

So join me at Riverton High to see this great show- and if you're not sold on the Rodger's and Hammerstein classic, we are selling there amazing cookies:

They make these in Pleasant Grove and sell them all over the world (for a lot of money- Larry H. Miller movies sell them for $4.00! We're selling them for $2.00). Each cookie is huge AND the bottom is dipped in chocolate. So come have some cookies and Wash that Man Right Outta Your Hair this next weekend.
