"You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown"

Eric was in another play in May.  He played Snoopy in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown."  He was totally AWESOME!  And I'm not making that up either, or just saying it because I'm his mother.....He really was GREAT!

Eric had 3 solos, and before the play, I kept wondering how he would do.  He wouldn't sing in front of me, so I wasn't sure how he would sound.  The opening night, I sat on the edge of my seat.....until he opened his mouth to sing the first few words of his first song.  My mouth dropped open and I just sat there in shock.  I looked to my right to Todd, then to my left, to my Mom, and we all had dumbfounded looks on our faces.  I had no idea he could sing.....I mean, really sing! I knew he could sing on key, but I didn't realize that he was GOOD!  I mean, really GOOD!  I'm talking vibrato and everything, baby!  The works!  And from that moment on, I couldn't take my eyes off of that amazing boy!  And actually, I've got to say, that the entire cast was the BEST!  Everyone sang so well, and played their parts perfectly.  It was one of the best musicals I've seen and I couldn't stay away from any of the 3 performances.

Here are a few pics to show you how cute they were..... (and sadly, the pics aren't great, not real clear, but trust me, it was wonderful)....

Eric was either on top of the doghouse, or inside of it, about 90% of the play.  He had a little portable fan in his house, some water, and a few snacks.  It was SO hot in the theater room.....I can't imagine what it was like in the doghouse....

I kept missing the end poses of each song before the lights went out too quickly....that's why it's so dark.

Eric is howling right here....and I gotta say, he sounded just like a dog!

Random pictures...

Eric had an amazing scene called "The Red Baron."  It was sooo funny and he was so good (I know I keep saying that, but it's true)...

That is Sally and Snoopy....staring at each other.  Eric turns to the audience after a minute and says, "They hate it when you stare at them like this."

These next couple of pictures were taken during the "Suppertime" song.  Oh man, did he ever steal the show with this one.....I'm still in shock when I think about it....crazy!

The end, when everyone comes out and bows. 

I wish I had a video of this play.  I could watch it everyday.  But I guess, I'll have to live with the memories and the SHOCK of my talented son!  Way to go, Eric!  You were the best Snoopy ever!
