Friday night was my niece's Broadway debut! At 10 years old she has officially performed on Broadway. The real deal. And in "WICKED" no less! Here's how it all went down:
A couple months ago my brother and his wife took their daughter, Gabe, to NYC to see Wicked. By sheer coincidence they were attending on one of only 2 nights during the year that they auction off a walk-on role for charity. I won't tell you what my brother paid in order for his daughter to have this amazing once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...but I will say it was worth every cent! We got to go backstage and meet some of the cast and experience the hair and make-up, wardrobe and music preparations. The whole thing was exciting. After the performance Gabe came out of the stage door to adoring fans wanting her autograph. I think she may be hooked! We had a fabulous time with my brother and his family. We did all the things you are supposed to do while in NYC. Times Square, Central Park, shopping like crazy, walking everywhere. It was AWESOME! PLUS, I got a cute new bag. :)

She is one lucky girl! Wicked is my absolute favorite show! I could see it a million times and never get sick of it!
Wow...what an awesome experience and how fun for you and Sophie to be able to tag along...It looked like you had a great time...I love that you are all over the place...so when are you going to be in So. California???? :)
All I have to say is AMAZING!!! A once in a life experience! I love all the pictures, it reminded me of being there when my kids were that age when they modeled. The pictures reminded of getting make-up on for the modeling jobs! I love seeing all the wigs!
How fun to get to experience that with her cousin! Sophie has had quite the amazing summer already.
Don't you just love the city. Yeah you got your purse. I have that same one too! You have great taste! I wanted to see a picture of you in your black dress! Thanks for sharing! We need to go on a girls trip! It would be so fun!
We were so happy that you and Sophie could be there to experience it with us, Katie! Gabe loves the support :)
Can't wait for July - and let's start planning our 2010 beach trip!
