On Friday night, Claire's hard work at learning to sing and dance at the same time paid off, and she performed in the show Candyman with Wayne Kermond at the Canberra Theatre. A few family representatives went along on Friday night, and what a great show it was. A fabulous band, five terrific dancers, and of course, my personal favourite, a fantastic tap dance routine.
The kids were on in the second half, so Claire watched the first half from the audience and loved it. Wayne is a very talented performer and did some good work with some well known songs. At half time, she joined her friends backstage and then for the second last number, out they came to do Gonna Build a Mountain. Claire and Zoe were both fully miked, so our work on their singing paid off. They looked young and fresh and full of enthusiasm, which was exactly the plan.
Saturday afternoon, she turned around and did it all again. Rosemary went and watched the second half and said it was 'fantastic!!!', and was very complimentary to her big sister. We had a chat with Wayne after the show, and what a nice man he is. He sent best wishes to everyone in Timor L'Este and applauded the work being done there by Australians.
So we now have our Sunday afternoons back, which is nice. I'm glad Claire did it, though - hopefully this is something she will remember for a long time.
