Flying High in Chicago


In Mid January, Aaron and I rented out our beautiful home in Las Vegas to move into a small studio in Old Town Chicago. Gail began her rehearsals for the National Tour of Mary Poppins soon after. In the mean time, Aaron booked a show with the local Children's Theatre. You may have heard of it: Pinocchio! We are busy at work. Gail plays several different characters in Mary Poppins and also understudies the title character as well as Winifred, the mother. This past weekend, Gail had the blessing of playing Mary Poppins. Many dear friends from Wisconsin came to see her debut as well as family. Amy, Libby, Ben, and Shelly made it out to see the show and got the bonus of seeing Aaron as the Fox in Pinocchio, too! It was a magical weekend that ended in Gail Flying over the heads of her fans up to the roof of the audience at the end of Mary Poppins. Dreams come true!
