Me & Mom - We recently had the opportunity to attend Back to Before: Former Broadway Kids Return to the Stage. In this show, people that were in shows when they were kids sang adult songs from one of the shows they were in as a kid. They also talked a little about their experiences and some showed mementos from their experiences. The performers who appeared in the show were:

Pierce Cravens was the only one who did not sing a song from a show he had been in. He sang Extraordinary from Pippin.

Emily Klein was in Parade among other shows. She sang Do It Alone.

Danielle Melaine Brown played young Cosette and young Eponine in Les Miserables among other things. She sang I Dreamed A Dream.

/

Stephanie Mieko Cohen was also young Cosette and young Eponine in Les Miserables. She sang On My Own. She also talked about a Cosette doll she had gotten when she was younger. She brought the bucket that came with the doll which played the song Castle on a Cloud.

David Gabriel Lerner played Michael Banks in Mary Poppins among other things. He sang Feed the Birds.

Mitchell Sink played Michael in Elf among other things. He sang World's Greatest Dad.

Kathryn Faughnan played Jane in Mary Poppins among other things. She sang Being Mrs. Banks.

Brynn Williams was in Chitty Chitty Bang among other shows. She sang Hushbye Mountain.

Dara Paige Bloomfield was in Ragtime among other shows. She sang Gliding.

Keaton Whittaker was in A Little Night Music among other shows. She sang The Miller's Son.

Tessa Albertson played teenage Fiona in Shrek among other things. She sang Don't Let Me Go even though it was Donkey's song and not Fiona's. She also brought and wore the crown she wore in the show.

At the end Dara Paige Bloomfield who was also the producer of the show sang Back to Before from Ragtime.

The show was a delight and a nostalgia trip for anyone old enough to remember these shows and/or specifically seeing these perfomers in these shows back in the day. Coming up on September 2, Feinsteins/54 Below will be having a similiar show in which child stars from the past performer with current child stars.

And that's our view. Funtivity Friday will be closed this week. Tune in Sunday for this week's Sunday Scoop.
