Shows, shows, shows

Gabe has had one performance after the other lately. The season opened up last Wednesday and have already had 5 performances. Tomorrow is Gabe's big show, The Merry Widow. Michael Ballam recently spoke before a Tabernacle concert and introduced Gabe and spoke very highly of him, which is always nice to hear. He told everyone the story of meeting Gabe and when he heard his audition piece from The Merry Widow he instantly knew he had to replace the Danilo whom had already been cast. He said, "I wasn't really sure how to go about telling someone they were out of a job, but it happened pretty quickly...since that person was me." Everyone thought that was pretty funny! I'm sure Gabe will exceed his expectations. Here's another costume pic for you from The Merry Widow!

Gabe's first performance of Don Giovanni went really well. After all the shows there is a meet and greet outside the theatre and Gabe was thrilled to be able to meet President Dieter F. Uchdorf, a leader in the LDS church. He greeted everyone in the show, but I think Gabe may have been one of two people who actually knew who he was. Gabe said he was so gracious. I wasn't there and Gabe was unprepared with no phone or camera, so he was even happier to see him the next day after South Pacific with his wife. Gabe came prepared with phone is hand this time.

Fun times!!!!
