My Cousin - The Musical Star


Musicals, the Gals were brought up on them and LOVE them. Who wouldn't want to live in a world where you spontaneously break out into song and dance? Unfortunately, both Gals were not "blessed" with the gift of vocal talent...in the least. We can cut a mean rug, though!

The musical legacy does run in Margaret's family. Meet Madge's ultra darling and charismatic cousin Betsy...or as she fondly refers to her as "Betsy-licious," starring as Annie in the ever lovable musical.



In honor of Betsy's most amazing accomplishment, dedication, and hard work; we have decided to share  two of our favorite musical numbers.

Jenny adores Les Miserables, her obsession started at a young age when her mother was learning French. I've been to many a bonfire at Jenny's house where Les Mis was blasting at ungodly high decibels. Nothing says a good bonfire like Les Mis.

Jenny's Musical Pick - Bring Him Home



Margaret started dancing at an early age, mainly focusing on ballet and tap. I appreciate any theatrical performance involving dance--it takes a lot chutzpah! Due to my father's obsession with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra, I was introduced to On the Town--a fabulous yet relatively unknown musical. Throw in the mad tap dancing skills of Ann Miller and you are in a musical heaven!

I could not be more proud of my spunky cousin! Although I won't be there--I will be thinking of you!
Break a leg, Licious--I love you girly!!
