The Boy Friend

Tonight I went to the opening night of Kilbourne's musical, The Boy Friend. It was incredibly well done and everyone did a fantastic job! I cannot imagine how stressful the snow days made it for all of the individuals involved in putting on the musical, but it never appeared that way as the entire show came off impressively. There is one more night for the musical and I cannot encourage you enough to try to attend Saturday night's performance. The talent, enthusiasm, and dedication that each of the individuals involved in the musical is beyond my ability to describe in words.

A special congratulations to "my" students who participated in the musical. David Busch stole the show for me when he appeared on stage in his messenger-boy costume and started tap dancing. Gina Badillo, Josh Cook, Isabel Andrews, Jessica Blake, and Holly Klepek also had on-stage roles that included singing and dancing. Matthew Cooperman, Austin Dickey, and Kaytee Ambrozich contributed their time, talents, and gifts to the production as members of the orchestra. And, the entire show is impacted significantly by those who take on the very important behind-the-scenes, crew roles which included: Jey Bukkapatnam, Krystin Burgess, and Kyle Calcote.

The musical was very well done and an enjoyable evening!
