Bye, Bye Birdie

Whew!!! We made it through our 2nd major show!!! Carlie auditioned for "Copperstar Repertory Co" back in August and made the first show! We were excited to be branching out and trying new things. This show, "Bye, Bye Birdie" is set back in the 1950s and is centered around a SUPER hunky/talented singer, Conrad Birdie, (much like Elvis Presley) who is drafted into the army and so his managers decide to send him out with a BANG! They write a hit song, "One Last Kiss" and pick one lucky Conrad Birdie fan club member to get his "last kiss." SOOOO FUNNY and SOOO entertaining! The music is SUPER catchy, we've been singing it for weeks:) Carlie was in the Youth Ensemble and had soo much fun doing what she LOVES to do...singing, dancing, performing! They performed 7 shows over 2 weekends. Carlie voice was SHOT for a few days in between but she recovered quickly and is back to singing ALL day EVERY day:)

This is Carlie with super hot "Conrad" (a.k.a Josh who is a senior at Highland High School). Carlie got to "faint" over him MANY times:)


Here is Carlie with some of her theater friends: (these girls were in "Annie" with her this past summer:

Chris' company was hired to film this production and since Chris did all the editing, I have access to the whole show:) This is one of my most favorite scenes--"Honestly Sincere": (Carlie is on the far left--hard to see but he's goes over to sign an autograph for her:) Just LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!!
