A Magical Night at Oz The Musical - Spinal Muscular Atrophy



This was a great night for Elizabeth .
Elizabeth above with Disney star Orlando Brown. He played the Lion. He was excited to meet her. I was impressed with how kind and how he showed so much love towards Elizabeth

We took Elizabeth to the Muscial Oz in Normal,IL on Friday evening. Caitlyn was in the muscial as a munchkin. You could not take pictures during the production so afterwards we got to take pics with all the upcoming stars. Some of the stars were from Disney and American Idol. It was quite an experience for Elizabeth. She was hit with a wave of magical awareness that at times had her breathless at what was going on before her eyes.


Lizzy is pictured here with (left to right) Brenda Castillo,Tierinii Jackson and Tatum Sheers. The Doo-Wop girls.  These girls were great. They thought Elizabeth was beautiful.  They also commented on Dawn and Caitlyn on how beautiful they were too.


Here is Elizabeth and (Left to right) Vince Olmo, Haydee Venessa, Michael Sylvester, and Emily Greenwell. They were the dancers. They also were great to Lizzy . They said they thought Caitlyn needed to be in TV commercial because she had a perfect face for it.

Elizabeth and  "Wicked Witch Brenda"  played by Yes, a guy!! Ryan Knowles. He did very good. Wow.... he gave an excellent performance. Very talented young man. They all were but this guy blew us away. Elizabeth says she did not like him but she would smile and could not take her eyes off of him when we were waiting to get pics. I am sure because he played a scary witch is the reason she did not like him.

Elizabeth and the Wizard of OZ Ryne Sanborn. He was quiet and one of the other actors told us we was in Highschool Muscial. He was sweet.


The scare crow played by Thayne Jasperson and Lizzy. He was so awesome to Lizzy and commented on her Christmas hair bow. He also told Lizzy how beautiful she was. He had a bubbling personality.

Elizabeth and Tin Man played by Nathaniel Flatt. He loved Corbyn.

Elizabeth and "Glinda the Good witch" played by Vonzell Solomon( American Idol 4th season 3rd place ). She was really good actress. She talked to Lizzy also a bit.


Elizabeth and Dorothy played my Aundrea Fimbres . She is a very good actress also. 


The director, writer,choreographer for OZ Todrick Hall. Oh my gosh he was so great to Elizabeth. He asked her how she like the play and all sorts of questions.  He was very good with her. He very much impressed me on how he treated her.

This was quite an experience for Elizabeth. We all thought it was great.
Elizabeth woke up me up with her pulse ox screeching from heart rate reaching 160-190 about 4am. I jumped up thinking it was a fever or she was sick. I woke her up and asked her what was going on. She was dreaming!! Oh my that was scary. Never has that happened before. She was fine after I woke her up.

My kids went together and bought us tickets for this event for our anniversary . I am so happy we we able to go.
Many prayers for all the sick kids and those recovering from surgeries.
Many prayers also for our good friend MJ who just went through a huge surgery.
