Mulan!

I had the great pleasure of attending the Friday night performance of Disney’s Mulan Jr.; yet again the talent left me speechless. Erin Talty has found a place on the HS stage. Her voice anchored the show.  Zach Sloan followed his performance of Kenickie in Grease with a great job as Shang.  I particularly liked the unique set design that depicted the “ancestors” in high towers on the side of the stage.  Harrison, Jillian and the 3 Sara(h)’s anchored the show, they did a fabulous job playing off one another in some tricky dialogue and songs.  Raquel Galan was an excellent choice to play Mushu, the wayward dragon.  David Lee had me smiling the whole time he was on stage as Chi FU and I couldn’t stop laughing at Chloe’s face at the end of the show.  The ensemble did a fantastic job bringing the Huns and Emperor’s soldiers to life.   Congratulations to Don Carreras and Sarah LaSorsa on an excellent production.  Kudos to Vinny Tunkel, Paul Sommer, Melissa Fusco and Aislinn Oliveri for great work on the production.  Can’t wait for next year!

Lastly sharing a video story that inspires! The fact I watched the video on Mother’s day was even better!
