Feb 2, 2023: This was taken on the dress rehearsal day (last day rehearsal day), before the Feb 3, 2023 opening show. The placement of the lights/ light effects was not perfect yet, but good enough for this video (as remembrance).
Feb 12, 2023: Ana performed as 'Matilda Wormwood' in Meadowvale Music Theatre's "Matilda The Musical" (Feb 3-5 & Feb 9-12, 2023), held at the Meadowvale Theatre in Mississauga, ON. All 8 shows (at least 3,160 seats) sold out a week before the opening night and we heard great reviews overall. By the end of the 2023-2023 season, she was awarded for this performance. The musical's narrative centers on Matilda Wormwood, a precocious 5-year-old girl with the gift of telekinesis, who loves reading, overcomes obstacles caused by her family and school, and helps her teacher to reclaim her life. The Matilda role is among the hardest children's role in musical theatre considering one has to memorize the long lines about the Acrobat subplot that connects to Miss Honey’s backstory to the chalkboard writing scene. It also has odd tempo for solo songs like Quiet and Naughty, including the many dance sequences. Most of all, one has to be mindful of the British accent and the diction required to deliver the lines. www.meadowvalemusictheatre.co...
