Sunday SUNDAY Sunday (Challenge)

A Saturday Challenge

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Challenge for February 25

Lily is busy potty training, but she's not too busy to do her daily challenge!

February 24 Challenge

This one speaks for itself. Either you know it, or you don't.

Challenge for February 23

Alright, this one is admittedly more difficult. Mommy and Daddy know exactly what she's doing, but it may not be as evident to Lily's non-parent fans. We'll leave it as-is for now, but we'll post clues as needed.

Week 3 in Review

Lily says "Woah! This week got crazy!" Here are the answers and winners.

Tuesday- "Cry Baby." (we were trying to get her to do something else, but she wasn't having it. That's what happens when less-than-two-year-olds are stars...) Winner: Andrea Tipton-Rudolph.

Wednesday- "Dreamgirls." (with Lily in the dress she didn't wear in Aunt Jackie's wedding, because she had two...) Winner: Andrea Tipton-Rudoph. Again.

Thursday- "Stomp." (we've been watching this movie a lot this week- did you know it's available on netflix instant view? Lily loves to wear her boots and bang things together.) Winner: Kathleen Moran.

Friday- "Rent." (Apparently this was a tough one! Not even Executive Director Jackie Jacobi could get it for a moment! The key was taking it very, very literally. You guys just didn't give Lily enough credit. She was costumed, and doing the choreography from "La Vie Boheme." Don't worry, Lily has NOT seen "Rent.") Winner: Newlywed Adam Sabados.

Saturday: Oops. Mommy and Daddy were busy getting ready for poker night, and this one slipped by us. But we promise we'll pretend it's Leap Year and extend February by one day to make sure we get all 28 challenges in.

Sunday: "Fiddler on the Roof." (that's Mommy's violin that she played in school. And the vest is one Mommy wore when she was the MD for a production a couple years ago. Lily had fun with this one.) Winner: Andrea Tipton-Rudolph. But this was the day things got nasty, when an argument ensued regarding retirement, and who should answer. So, special recognition to John Thomas Murphy, who also knew the answer. And with her third win, Andrea joined the ranks of the retired.

Monday: "Peter Pan." (This talent of Lily's is what inspired Lily's Challenge to begin with. Lily crows along with Peter. It's hysterical. And so, so cute.) Winner: Kathleen Moran.

Tuesday: "The Pajama Game." (Aside from the adorable pink pajamas, Lily was holding- well, eating- a sign that demanded "7 1/2 cents.") Winner: Devin Butler, who has been just WAITING for a show she knew. ;)

There's one week left, folks. Keep following us, and remember to post it to your profiles so your friends can play along!

A Morning Challenge

This is what happens when toddlers protest...

Challenge for February 21

We're all pretty proud of this one...

More "Cute" Than "Challenging"

A Challenge to Start Your Weekend

That's right, we got her to do this.

Challenge #17

She enjoyed this one. Our neighbors, I fear, probably did not.

Challenge #16

I was in a better mood today ;)

Week 2 in Review

*This picture isn't of a show, it's just the little diva in her off time.*

Some tough ones, some easy ones, here's what Lily had for you this past week. Be sure to post the links on facebook so others can see how much fun this is ;)

Day #8- "Oliver." (Lily was wearing a cute little hat, holding our her bowl, and asking for "more." Winner- Steven McCasland.

Day #9- "The Little Mermaid." (pretty self explanatory. She was dressed like a mermaid. Fun fact, she refused to take off her bathing suit for the rest of the day.) Winner- Faatimah Blossom.

Day #10- "Annie." (the costume was obvious enough. The part that threw a few of you- she was standing in front of a calendar page that said February 11, 2011. It was posted on February 10, making that calendar day "tomorrow." Get it? Get it? She was also holding a little dog and wearing a little heart necklace.) Winner- Kevin Story.

Day #11- "Thoroughly Modern Millie." (Again, obvious enough, she was dressed like Millie. But you may not have noticed that she threw down a ticket at the end of the video. That was intentional.) Winner- Ryan Smith, Lily's Daddy. He wasn't home when it was posted, we promise.

Day #12- "Hairspray." (Aside from her cute little 60's outfit, she's dancing with hairspray. If you listen carefully, she's actually making little spraying sounds.) Winner- Steven McCasland. (Who, at that point, was asked to retire.)

Day #13- "Chess." (She was playing chess, but was also wearing an American flag tshirt.) Winner- Heather Helms.

Day #14- The song was "My Funny Valentine" from the show "Babes in Arms." (She was dressed in her Valentine's Day cutest and laughing, and in the picture she was holding, well, babes, in her arms.) You guys really had trouble with that one! But the winner- Nicole Huett.

Keep playing and sharing- and no one has guessed today's yet! Post it on your wall and see if your friends can help!

Tuesdays can be Rough

Fortunately, there's a musical for everything.

A Two-Part Holiday Challenge

The video is the song, the picture is the show. We're looking for BOTH THE SONG AND THE SHOW.

Love- Lily

Challenge #13

Challenge #12

The face she's making in the beginning isn't part of it. That's just a fun bonus.

TGIF!

In anticipation of your questions- yes, that is Mommy's skirt, no, it doesn't fit her. We used lots of safety pins. Jerks.

Challenge for February 10

A Challenge for Hump Day

Challenge #8

It's very very quiet, but you can read her lips ;)

Week 1 in Review

Wow! Lily caused quite a stir with her challenge! And there has been some concern over who was "first" on a few of her challenges. (you guys take your music theatre trivia very seriously!) Please know that Lily's Mommy sits at the computer and checks all three locations (this blog, her facebook, and Momentum Rep's facebook) until someone gets the correct answer. Then, she checks the other two locations one more time to make sure it wasn't a tie. So no worries! Wherever you post the answer, she'll find it!

As promised, here are the answers for the week. If you don't want to know, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER!

Day 1: "Singin' in the Rain." Winner: Jackie Jacobi (who decided to follow along but retire from guessing, as she and Lily have very similar taste and knowledge in music theatre, and she wanted other to have a chance...) ;)

Day 2: "Seussical." (Gertrude McFuzz singing "The One-Feathered Tail of Miss Gertrude McFuzz." Gertrude plays the guitar during this song, generally. Technically, she doesn't have a long tail yet, but you get the idea. Also, Lily was wearing a Horton tshirt.) Winner: Heather Helms.

Day 3: "Urinetown." (Lily was telling the bunny no. Or, "don't be the bunny.") Winner: Steven McCasland.

Day 4: "The Secret Garden." (Lily re-enacted the last moment of Act 1, the bird helps find the key- that's what was in her hand- and the door, and she peaks around into the garden.) Winner:Hadley Schnuck.

Day 5: "The Sound of Music." (Most of you knew this one. Lily was portraying Maria spinning on the mountain top.) Winner: Theone Frank.

Day 6: "Into the Woods." (The cow as white as milk, the hair as yellow as corn, the cape as red as blood, the slipper as pure as gold. This is what the witch needs to break the spell.) Winner: Jaime Hoefner.

Day 7: "Little Shop of Horrors." (Sitting in the giant plant.) Winner: Steven McCasland.

We're having a lot of fun with this- please post it to your facebook wall and share the fun with your friends! See you tomorrow!

Monday Challenge

We're hoping your Monday went better than ours- but hopefully this makes you smile a little. :)

Day 2

First person to guess correctly gets their first drink on the house tonight ;)

We'll start with an easy one...

Lily's Challenge

This is Lily- the official baby of Momentum Repertory Company. She came to us during our second mainstage production. Her Mommy- Artistic Director Mindy Kay Smith- was playing Corie in our production of "Barefoot in the Park." Mommy and Daddy (Board Member Ryan) knew they could potentially get the phone call any day that they had been matched to a baby to adopt. None of us anticipated that a baby would arrive six days before we opened. Lily spent time at load-in at the Spoon Theatre before ever seeing the inside of her nursery.

Lily is, of course, a 20-month-old veteran of the theatre, and she is ready to pass on her knowledge. Throughout the month of February, Lily will post a clue each day to a different musical. Check back here each day to test your knowledge against hers. But be warned, the girl knows her stuff!
