The Frog Prince – Reviews

So Mia did it. She was not afraid at all. However she was distracted by the presence of the audience and made it obvious she was looking for us and lit up when she spotted where we were sitting. That made the audience laugh. You can see in the pictures I will post below. I was impressed with the older children and the actress that played the Frog. She sang very well and professional. The songs and moral of the story, which was not the same as the movie. It was about judging others by the way they look on the outside. How not taking the time to see what is on the inside. In this case the Frog is really a Prince, and wanted to know if others loved him for who he was rather than his position and what he could do for them.

A question you might have even asked yourself. We know all to well that society judges and responds to us based on appearance. Evident in our spending millions on magazines, clothes, and beauty products and regimens to look better. There is nothing wrong with that in and of itself. I believe everyone should strive to be their best inside and out. Everyone has beauty. We see what some attention and money can do on those makeover shows. Clean teeth and hair does go a long way.

However when we as a people get so obsessed with the outside that we disregard others because they don’t measure up in appearance is not only sad but we loose out on people that can be such an asset to our lives if we only bothered to look past appearance. We all get older and loose a certain amount of physical youth and appeal. That is a hard lesson to find out. That people only paid attention or wanted us for our looks, position or money.

I am guilty through out my life of that mindset as well. Now I am getting older and am starting to feel that attention fading. Does that mean I don’t matter or will not be seen as valuable to others ? Hmmmmmmmmm just a thought.

One positive aspect of being in online communities and social media, is we really get to see whats in people hearts and minds without judging their appearance immediately. I have had the experience of interacting with people and then when I found out what they looked like was so surprised. Why? Because I or even them would never in the real world had interacted because of preconceived ideas of what they or I was about. I already liked them and knew what they were about and then it was OK. So now I am more aware to really listen to everyone first and respond to them based on what is in their heart first then how I feel about what I see on the outside. This is the lesson the Princess in this story had to learn as well.

Back to how Mia did…She did her best….pulled through and had the audience laughing when she said her lines and for being her cute self. We are all proud of her. She made friends and had tons of fun through this experience. All the kids knew her name…and where very positive and encouraging to her. I am glad we all had this experience.

Here are some shots and videos of the nights events.

Performance Nite !

I am about to leave and go see my daughter make her acting depute in the Frog Prince. Mia is only 6 but she got one of the speaking roles.

As I alluded to in earlier posts…I had a concern she would not be focused…and Tuesday she had some issues with staying focused that where

brought to my attention. No surprise there…however her energy and vivaciousness was what got her the part and they acknowledged that.

We worked on focusing her energy into doing her best job and saying her lines. The next day she was spot on…plus giving her some omega 3′s to

help with focus didn’t hurt and eliminating most of her sugary snacks.

We went last night to watch as the cast did some improve for us. No problem hearing my daughter…loud and clear.

Her character the FLY is the cute one…and will have the audiance laughing each time she appears. We have been dissecting the kids movies and there is one

in each. The monkey in Aladdin, flounder in Ariel, the Dragon in Mulan, the donkey in shriek and the list goes on. I didn’t realize it was a part of the recipe.

To bad we all don’t have a side kick that can help lighten us up and put our situations in perspective in supporting us.

I am sure she will do well….and as long as she tries thats fine with me. I give her a thumbs up for having the courage to do it at all. I even think her brother is

impressed. I can’t wait to see her in costume.

Well off to the show……here are some pictures I can share for now.
