Our stake had road shows over the weekend. We have about 60 youth in our ward and all of them were in the road show. Our story was about 3 people trying to come up with a road show idea. They would make suggestions and the kids would act them out in the background. We had them do The Sound of Music, Grease, Romeo and Juliet, and West Side Story. Instead of rival gangs in West Side Story, we did another rivalry... BYU/Utah. Our program started at about the same time the real football game ended, so there was a lot of emotion behind our show. Kaylea was the head BYU cheerleader that the UTAH quarterback fell in love with. Steve was the BYU quarterback.
The Sound of Music idea...didn't work because the kids were too hard to control and got in a pillow fight.
Grease scene didn't work because... they couldn't dance. (They actually danced really well!)
Romeo and Juliet didn't work because the actors were too dull and boring at first and after giving them a second chance were too "dramatic".
Sadly, this is the only picture I have of Steve in the roadshow. Jessica took the pictures and couldn't find him. He is wearing a blue wig, and has a "Y" on his shirt. They actuall had several football plays, Steve was tackled once, and caught an interception. He had some key plays in our faux game. Kaylea is arguing with the UTAH head cheerleader.
Kaylea showing her true colors! (I hope!!) She actually came wearing a bright red coat over her costume... I'm confused.
The grand finale. We are about 5 rows deep on the stage. It's hard to see everyone. But they belted out the songs. People didn't have a hard time hearing us at all. It was a fun night.
