On Oct 24th Grandpa Lindman attended a performance at Taylorsvilles High School. It was the musical Beauty and the Beast presented my the Taylorsville High performing arts department.
The special part about this musical was knowing that his 7 year old great grandson Jaden was playing the starring roll of chip, the tea cup. Jaden has been going over to the High School that past 4 or 5 weeks and practicing with the cast after having been chosen for the part. Plus a fun bonus that night was the fact that Eric his father was filling in as the drummer for the school orchestra at the request of his father, who is the conductor.
This was fun for Grandpa because he to was apart of school plays while attending South High School is senior year. He and Grandma would talked about that experience on occasion, when Grandma purshased a record of the musical play on Broadway.
He commented that this play was how ever much for completed than anything that was preformed in those days. Grandpa took a front row seat by Jaycee and the production began. It became a magical world filled with talking furniture, not to mention horrible beast and wolfs that climbed up the sides of the walls near the stage. The stage sets where moved of an on the stage transforming the stage from a village to forest to castle in wonderful creative way.
All ends well... you know one of those happily ever after fairly tales. The beast becomes a prince again, falls in love with Bell, the castle and everyone transforms back,including Jaden who transforms from a tea cup to a real boy once again. It was a wonderful event! And we all loved it ! Great job Jaden!
