This is my Amanda! Tonight's the opening night for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. She has her dream role in the production...the narrator. For those of you who are not familiar with Joseph, the narrator sings the story of Joseph from beginning to end. You have to have a strong singing voice to take on this role.
We had no idea that Amanda had any kind of real singing talent until she was a freshman in high school. She had a small part in her middle school musical but she had a very soft soprano voice.
As a freshman she got the role of Mayzie in Suessical. Amanda was the first freshman in 10 years to get a lead part in the musical. When we heard her sing Mayzie's song for the first time we were floored. I guess we shouldn't have been surprised. Amanda had been preparing for the stage since she started giving shows by singing in her sandbox. We are nervous and excited for her tonight. Break a leg Amanda! Love you, Mom
