The show began, and immediately I am impressed with the massive town set (all in purple, naturally). I spot several of my friends in the ensemble, including Samantha ----, Dani ----, and Liz ------. Of course, standing in the center of the ensemble is none other than friend Jacob ----- as the Herald (in gold sparkly pants, nonetheless). "The Prince is Giving a Ball" begins, and...Jake flubs his first line. Oops! Ah, but he laughs and recovers nicely. I do rather enjoy his singing voice, and know that this musical production will indeed be a good one.
