Our first performance of the Tour was a 'stand alone' show at the Orpheum Theatre in Sioux Falls. It is a beautiful facility with an absolutely wonderful and accommodating tech crew. On the ride to our first performance the van was absolutely silent. The girls met me at the theatre at 2:15 and we left almost immediately in our 15 passenger van. We originally were going to take 2 or 3 eight foot trees but I decided that comfort on this long tour was more important than a couple trees...so we substituted our forest for a small bush. The trip home was the exact opposite as the girls were on a performance high all the way home and nearly every musical ever written in the last several decades was heard ringing in the van. This will be a fun tour. Snow White and the Missing Dwarfs received a wonderful reception and the audience was so very receptive and complimentary after the performance. We have a winner! Kids really do love music. This was a good decision to travel with a musical
. I am really looking forward to the rest of the journey. We have Friday to get ourselves ready to go for a nearly 2 week road trip. This will be fun.
