So, I’m going to do a little shameless bragging here. It’s not about me, but about my 14 year old daughter, who was unaccountably blessed with a full singing voice and an actor’s soul. She’s featured as “Ursula the Sea Witch” in a Community Theater production of The Little Mermaid Jr…and she did well enough in the role that the directors added in a song from the normal “Broadway” version of the musical for her to sing (“The Good Times Back”… the 1 minute, 38 second video of it is posted below). It’s not the greatest quality since it was from my phone, but I think she did a bang up job with a pretty tricky, jazzy song. Have a listen if you’re so inclined. 🙂
She is belting out that song ! And yes, what a grown up voice on a 14 y/o. My daughter did community theater in Orlando, but always ensemble, but never a lead part, brag on, it’s your parental right !

Thanks, b4thirty8! I’m glad it wasn’t too off-putting…I think I would have posted it even if it wasn’t my daughter, just because I got such a kick out of that song…not to mention the hair and makeup they put on her. Her “look” was created by a man who moonlights as an award-winning drag queen persona, and he really knows what he’s doing. 🙂

I’m sure she would love to! 🙂 We’ll have to see which wins out: Broadway/show biz or engineering, LOL!
