Last night, we saw Ashley in the musical "The Wiz" at Eastmont. For those of you that aren't a child of the 70's, or a fan of Michael Jackson when he had a nose, the Wiz is a creepy Motown version of the Wizard of Oz. I can gladly say the play was much better than the movie. Ashley was cast as a slave and an Emerald City person. The Emerald City cast all had to wear green dresses. Ashley, apparently, got to wear someone's 80's prom dress just minus the lace. It was so funny!!! Ashley said it was a horrible dress, and she wasn't kidding!!! The other highlight of the play was when they showed a large painted picture of the Wiz on one of the backdrops. I guess Bob Ross is the Wiz. And over here we'll paint some happy little munchkins, and over here a happy little scarecrow. It was hilarious. The night was great- Ashley really had a lot of fun rehearsing and now she's excited that the performances are finally here. There will be shows tonight and Monday night if you want a chance to see some motown magic. :)

How exciting! I can actually hear the Ease on Down the Road song playing in my head. (Mind you, I CLOGGED to that song!)
I am so impressed! I didn't know Ashley was into musical theater! I'd love to see a picture of her in that green dress:)
Yes, I know girls who flew to San Fransisco just so they could buy dresses exactly like that at the Gunney Sax outlet. Memories. It was a cute play.
Now I am singing this song.. because it's fun to do.. to do.. to do.. to do. (now which song are you singing?!) Were you able to get a picture of Ashley in the dress? Because, that would be awesome!
