Well Christopher had his first show tonight and he really did a great job. I have to say that it was probably the most stressful moment of my life. I have watched him prepare - rehearsing every line, movement, other people's lines, etc. and all I could think about in each step was would he do it the way he was supposed to. I didnt know - would he freeze when he saw the sold out crowd, would he sound pitchy but let me tell you in the end....WE THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE HIM WOULD ALL BE PROUD. It was an moment in my life I will never forget when at the end of the show and they come out for applause the crowd is screaming "SIMBA", when people of all ages are so pleased to meet him to tell him what a good job he did - its crazy as a mom to see this.
Now we are ready for all of you to come see him.....in whatever state it works, whatever date.....TRY to make it. Its an amazing show without Chris and well with him I think its even better. I would love for you to see! and share this experience with us. Tomorrow night, Alexi, Joe and Grandma Maureen are coming for Thanksgiving and my birthday and we are super excited.
I need to squeeze my baby girl........
We miss everyone.....thanks for keeping us in your hearts.

"The key to your life is not that you settle for the "safe" thing that will bring in the money. The key is to turn and do what you really love. Fall in love with an idea. That's your life! That's your purpose." Product of Bob Proctor
Christopher you were born to be a great man, an actor at will, a dancer of melodies, a brilliant mind and a nephew very much loved, respected and admired!
There is no doubt in my mind that your success is a product of your love for the arts!
The first time that I saw the Lion King play at the Broward Center of Performing Arts with Grandma Baby, I told her...some day our Christopher will be up there; because he is the perfect Simba.
Congratulations Simba on your first show!
Love always Titi Lisa and Uncle David
Chris:
So glad the show is going well and that you are having a blast doing it! John & I will come to see the show in February, when you're in Pennsylvania.
We Love & Miss You (Mommy too)!
Janet & John
