Oliver
Last friday I went to 'Oliver' at Adam (my cousin) 's school. Drawing on a talent pool of 140, they pulled off a really good production. The older participants (Adam included) all did a great job and looked about 5 years older when surrounded by the hundreds of little 10 years olds in the chorous.
Apparently the boy who played Oliver was a last minute ring-in as the original couldn't do it for some reason; this was a little bit of a let down as he was probably the weakest actor. I know that when my sister was involved in Oliver they used a girl for the role, which is quite feasible at that age...
Then on saturday (yes I was staying with Grandma) I popped around and we played some tunes on his baby guitar (litterally, he got it when he was 3 or something, very hard to play with big fingers!), and he showed me a little video of a band he was in doing (largely) Weird Al cover covers. They were really good, all in time and so on, which is something I am very jealous of - I've never really been good at the whole 'many people playing at the same time' thing.
