We are off to Manhattan later this morning to see an off Broadway show. We purchased our tickets way back in March for the Saturday 2:00 performance rather than the 5:00 performance and passed on the Sunday shows. Our ice princess not only is a figure skater, but a tap dancing performer. She was at practice one day two years ago and discovered by a theater rep. She had to send in a head shot, missing teeth and all, a resume, and audition by bringing in sheet music and singing to piano accompaniment in front of the powers that be. She got the part of an Indian in Peter Pan. Last year she was a frog! Today will be her fourth show with multiple appearances. We are ultra excited and plan on a quick visit back stage. See you guys later!!

Thank you! She did ballet yesterday in two performances and will tap in two performances today. The entire show was so well done. She loves performing. Who knew? She used to be so shy, it hurt!

@DianneN It's amazing how quickly kids change. My oldest was painfully shy as well, not anymore lol.

@DianneN Awwww - I'll bet she was so cute up there! Yah, that's a lot to remember - but she handles it all so well - she can sure multi-task . This is a silly question but does she have the opportunity to get her performance on video like they do with skating?

Thank you! She was awesome. She did ballet in two performances yesterday. Today, she will tap. I truly don't know how she remembers all those steps and double toe loops, etc. I'd be so confused and just stand still. . My son snuck a partial video on his phone. My DIL put it on Facebook in a comment. I can't copy and save it, so we just watch it there, over and over.

@DianneN I imagine the ice gives her the opportunity to displace her grace and athleticism in ways the stage cannot.

Yes, she is a true little performer. To be honest, I prefer seeing her perform on ice, but she was darn good in her show. Thank you!

That was last year. She's been in two shows since then. I think it was based on Cinderella.
