Matilda! Jr.

Jovey really wanted to get the part of Lavender, but she was so much taller than her friend who was cast as Matilda that she had to be cast as an older kid instead.  They asked me to make her hair smaller so she wouldn't look even taller than she already is.  Crazy.  She had fun as an older kid though and loved all the dances.  She especially loved her really comfy costume for this show.  She wasn't too hot or itchy and she felt super cute.

Miley also had  aspirations to be Miss Honey, but that didn't work out and she got the role of parent/teacher.  She amazes me with her good attitude.  She got a bad deal in choreography and there were some real issues with the leadership on this show, but she made the best of it and worked so hard.  She did stage crew and had fun despite it all.  She didn't want me to mama bear fix it, or at least make some heads roll, and it killed me not to.  But if she's treated poorly again, I will.  She shines on stage, so this experience won't dim her light.

It's a fun show and the girls loved being a part of it!
