Rehearsals for "Beauty and the Beast"

These first few are pictures my friend Erik took (he plays Gaston) that I stole to put on here. This was us getting our 'rehearsal costumes'. I play the wardrobe, so my cardboard cut out was massive. In these pictures we are rehearsing in this huge warehouse.

Me in my cardboard armoir. :D

Our Mrs. Potts, Brooke, is darling...she is built like a supermodel and is a cocktail waitress on the Strip. She's a sweetheart. Here we are rehearsing...no one wore their costumes after that first day except me. LOL

One night at the warehouse Lamar couldn't take care of Brendan 'cause he was in UT all day for work. So I got permission to bring Brendan with me to rehearsal. It was SO FUN! We were in the warehouse, and he hadn't started crawling yet, and there were plenty of people giving him attention/watching him for me. He LOVED watching rehearsal that day! We were learning "Be Our Guest" choreography and he was just squealing and smiling the entire time, watching the teacups, saucers, napkins, etc dancing by. He was totally taken by it, watching it all. It was so precious to watch him front center in the audience watching mommy. :) I loved it. :D

My friend Evan is also a daddy, so he was having fun playing with Brendan too. Brendan just sat on his blanket with his boppy and chewed on toys, squealing, and watching Mommy rehearse. It was a cute night.

Lately rehearsals have been FREEZING!!!! "Beauty and the Beast" is at an outdoor ampitheater here in Vegas and the weather got really freaky this week. Got really cold. So we've been rehearsing in very cold temperatures. This is the house/where the audience sits...right up against the red rock cliffs! It's SO PRETTY there!!!! Especially on this really cold and rainy day...the clouds came in and I felt like I was in Jackson Hole again. I was so happy that day. I realized how MUCH I miss climbing mountains and being above the clouds. I need it.

This is my friend Sevyn, who plays the Beast. We were freezing. Now remember...this is the end of May...in VEGAS and we're wearing our ski clothes almost. It has been really cold!

More layers came on as the afternoon went on...

It made rehearsals very interesting...all of us in our fleece, gloves, scarves, etc. This is our set before it was finished painting. It looks alot better now. That's Mrs. Potts on the stairs, and Belle in front.

I'll post more when I get more. These were all of me. LOL. I'll take a lot more when we get our costumes/makeup/wigs on. :)
