Hunter in The Phantom of the Opera

We were alllllll so excited when Hunter

tried out for and got a role in Midway

High School's theater/musical production...

and also that it was

The Phantom of the Opera!!!

Midway's Fine Arts Department goes

all out for these productions and

this one was AMAZING!!!

I loved that Walker and Hadlee

insisted on going to see the Hunter B perform!!!

The entire family bought V.I.P. tickets

for the first night of the performance...

Hunter was set to perform in the Thursday

and Saturday night performances. 

Our family was so happy and thankful

that Hunter would finally get some

much deserved ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!

I cried when Lynna called me early, early

Thursday morning to tell me that

Hunter had been up all night with 103 fever...

she just knew it was the flu that was

going around:(  I called his teacher

as soon as I got to school to give her

the heads up.  Hunter was devastated

and wanted to still perform;(  Lynna

took him to the doctor:  FLU...

and no way could he/should he/or would they

let him perform with the flu:(((

I scrambled all day long to get us

tickets to the SOLD OUT performance

on Saturday night in the hopes that he

would be able to perform then. 

Poor, poor Hunter:(

 

THANKFULLY, he was better

by Saturday and we all had tickets again!:)

I was only able to secure one VIP ticket for

that night and of course Lynna got it!

But that was okay...we still had good seats.

The performance was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We weren't allowed to take pictures

during the show.  These were all taken afterwards. 

I would have loved to have been able to take

some of Hunter on stage in his role.   

It's hard to believe that there could be

THIS much talent in a high school!!!

I am not exaggerating at all!

Hunter was Monsieur LeFevre...

the original owner of the opera house.

He was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

In true Hunter B fashion, he had totally

down played his role so we were shocked

to see how much he DID speak and act

in the first part of the play!

He was TRULY OUTSTANDING!!!

Plus he was in the chorus and other random

spots throughout the rest of the play!

That's our boy!!!!!!!!!!

We were all beaming with pride!!



I love this kid so much!

Our Happy Go Lucky Loving Hunter B:)

Our beautiful little Hoodie, Carli!!!

She and Hunter are great friends.

LOVE them both so much:)

Hunter is loved by EVERYONE!

Still in character...and telling me

he was sick of pictures!

Give the papparazzi a break, Hunter B;)

Walker and Hadlee were so

 good during the long play. 

Very intrigued by it all. 

Hadlee did ask me when "half-time"

was which reminded me my children

might need a little more culture;)

Not everything is sports centered

with a half-time!  So, they also

learned the term "intermission"!!!

The entire cast was amazing...

the kids loved getting to meet the Phantom!

SUCH a fun night celebrating, honoring

and enjoying success for our

Hunter B!  He soooooo deserved it:)

I dare say that Walker & Hadlee

were his two biggest fans...

in the show and in life!!!

Bravo, Hunter B, Bravo!!!!!!!!

 

We are so proud of you

and we love you more than you

could EVER imagine!!!
