I was thinking about how excited Ashley and Derek must be getting about beginning their roles tomorrow! Then, I had another interesting thought--when Ashley was 19, she recorded a demo CD which had a song called "Christmas in July" on it. It's a great song--she really has an amazing voice! But I thought that was pretty cool that after recording this song several years ago, that this time period truly must feel like "Christmas in July" to her! It's so nice to see that her dreams are coming true and that she will get to play "Sandy!" I wish that they could play the song at the theater before the show!

Yes, that would be wonderful! What a nice way to start the show. It really is "Christmas in July" for Ashley and Derek. Someone had mentioned that Ashley had recorded that song and how wonderful it is. Maybe it's time to play it on the radio! Good Luck to our "Christmas in July" kids. biggrin

I agree! Would love to hear it!

I have that CD, it's really great and appropriate for the situation. Perhaps they can play it at the after party.

That's a great suggestion! I hope that they do play it there! I think that the song really could be a big hit! It's just so appropriate right now too!

This certainly is a time for celebration. Ashley and Derek have worked very hard to arrive at the helm of Grease. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed. The new pictures I viewed of the two of them are absolutely outstanding.....a great fit.

I hope that Ashley reads this and takes it along with her to the party. smile

I just found my CD of Ashley singing "Christmas in July". I just finished playing it and as always thoroughly enjoyed it.

It would be great if they would play her CD before her performance. Great idea!

That's awesome! It's such an exciting day that it really does feel like Christmas! And I'm in Maryland, not New York City! I can only imagine what it will feel like in that theater tonight!

Theatre is probably buzzing!

I'm so anxious for more reports!!! I hope that there were a lot of photographers there! I would love to see an article in "People" on Ashley and Derek! As a loyal subscriber, I would love to see a piece on them in the magazine! :)
