Broadway comes to Germany!

This past weekend, the musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" played in the Kandern Auditorium. Altoghether, there were three performances. We went on Saturday to the Matanee. The orchestra and players performed to sold out audiences in all three performances. I think there were a few Germans in attendance as well. I am sure they were confused by some of the language used in the play and I wonder if they understood the shotgun wedding scene? Jeff enjoyed playing in the orchestra although he was tired by sunday. Here is a picture of the entire brass that made up the orchestra.



Anna was excited to be there listening to the songs and seeing the characters dance. She is holding a copy of the playbill.

As the play finished up, I took one more picture of the orchestra, they sounded good for their size.

After the play finished, Jacob went over to Jeff to get some pointers about playing trombone next year. I think Jacob was impressed by his dad!

Sarah decided to stay home and take a nap. So, we had a highschool student come over and be with her when she woke up. This is what she was doing when we got home- too cute! She now poses for the camera.
