Newsies!

Holy Moly!  Almost through the month of June!

Max was cast as "Henry" (a main Newsie in the show) in the AYT production of Newsies.  He was cast with all of his best friends so the whole show run was a party.  The show was performed at a professional venue--the Tempe Arts Center--and IT WAS AMAZING to say the least.

It was such a great experience for Max all around and definitely pushed him to his limits on his dancing abilities.  But he pulled it of with flying colors just like he always does.

He got his own poster!!!

Super fan-Tatum

Carlie proving that she & Max have the SAME smile:)
They must be siblings or something:)

No!  NOT a real bloody nose in this next pic.  But I did get the dreaded call that Max was dropped and hit his head in a fight scene during a performance.  Thank goodness all was well and no concussion was had:). I just held my breath for EVERY performance after that!

The whole TERRIFIC cast!

This last picture is HUGE.  Tatum is kinda a shy girl.  She's known Bruce G. (the AYT choreographer) for over a year now and he FINALLY convinced her to give him a huge.  A picture was definitely in order for this occasion!
