Billy Wardle Happenings

 Beale Street Theater presented a Fall music: The Scarlet Pimpernel.  Shelby Wigren directed, Tyler Wigren portrayed the Pimpernel, Alicia Russel played Marguerite and Jacob Beckstrand played Chauvelin, of the revolution who takes bride in sending people to the guillotine.  I portrayed St. Cyr, and aristocrat who appears to have been betrayed by Marguerite.  His head is chopped off early in the musical, so I have the distinction of having my head chopped off after singing my one line.  I got a couple backstage pictures, and then a few others shared.  Turned out to be a fun show.  The movie upon which it is based is here . The Graffs The Duke/ Jonathan I am in the grasp of Chauvelin making plans wedding, Pimpernel and Maguerite Pimpernel and his men Special dance was beautiful, choreographer was Hatie Graff, Mattea, Trent, Seth I came back as a prisoner, cousin. Curtain

 Beale Street Theater presents a delightful Cinderella.  My daughter and I attended on Saturday p.m.  There are three more shows this coming weekend, Friday and Saturday.  I really enjoyed the step sisters, always arguing.  Their antics her very well done with scratching and laughing.  I also enjoyed the characters of the king and queen who were very regal, and the king very diplomatic to get a commitment from their son about marriage.  And Cinderella and Prince Christopher are very good together.  Blake Rawls directed.  This is the Rodgers and Hammerstein version.  I really enjoyed the sister duet, "What could he see in a girl like her" and the King and Queen singing their duet about boys and girls.
