SES presents...The Wizard of Oz!

Southeast of Saline's Fall Musical this year was Wizard of Oz!

It had a cast of just over 100 kids, which about 40 were elementary students...
and MADDIE got a part as a snowflake!


This has been a BUSY week for her as she has had practice non stop since last Sunday afternoon.  She has been in rehearsals since the first part of September...but this last week has been every night until about 10 pm.  Let's just say...if Maddie isn't exhausted....Mommy and Daddy sure are!!!

But...it was well worth the time and effort and all of the cast's hard work has paid off! 

They had four performances scheduled... Thursday evening, Friday afternoon (for all the SES elementary students), last night and then this afternoon.

Here is a few photos from last night's performance...







This is the scene that Maddie is in!!!

If you don't remember...in the story, the Wicked Witch of the West puts a spell on a field of poppies to slow down Dorothy's journey to the Emerald City.

See the poppies... 

And when it works and Dorothy falls into a deep sleep, Glenda the Good Witch answers their cries for help by sending snow to fall on the field of poppies to break the spell.

And...here comes Maddie...as a snowflake sent from the Glenda the Witch of the North...

This one is kinda blurry, because Maddie's part was primary dancing a twirling her batons...but I had to insert it as she had such a pretty smile!!




What a Great SNOWFLAKE Maddie was!  She did such an awesome job...

And the story continues... (more pics)...



Here's Dorothy telling all her friends "goodbye"...

And now she's about ready to click her heels to go "home"...

The cast did a GREAT job!!! 

Maddie had several family members come to her performances to see her...

They were all so very proud of her!!!


Here's Maddie's group...all the poppies and snowflakes!

We even got a couple pics with the main characters...

Here's Dorothy, Maddie and Toto (who was a real life dog!)

And...Glenda the Good Witch and Maddie!

And of course... you can't forget...her mommy and daddy....who were SO VERY PROUD of her!!!!


WAY TO GO MADDIE!!!   You did a GREAT JOB!!!!

Whoa, Jenny, they really put on quite a production. The costumes are great! Maddie looked adorable. She looks very pretty and big in her stage make-up!
