Singin in the Rain (Act II :)

 I just threw all the pics from after each show into one post.

Matt had so much support and love from family, friends and wonderful neighbors and ward members.  I wish I would have been able to get pictures of everyone that came to see Matt but here's a handful of them.


Carol, Scott and Dallin are always so good to come and support Matt in his shows.

Maggie, Matt and Naomi

Keri and Lily Swink with the Young girls


This pic is one for the books.
On the left, we have Uncle Jo Olsen who played the lead, Curly, in his high school musical, Oklahoma Matt Bryan who played the lead, Don Lockwood in his high school musical, Singin' in the Rain,
and Grandpa Greg Olsen who played the lead, Tevya in his high school musical, Fiddler on the Roof.
3 generations of leads :)

Olsen Fam

Sister Julie Delgado (former seminary teacher and loyal supporter of studenets)

Turns out, Matt, Sam and Kathryn all had sisters that live in Provo.  Sam and Kathryn's sisters are former mission companions.  They served together in France.
We had to get a pic with the 6 of them (cute Maggie snuck in there too)

Then a pic with more siblings...



Then we realized Abby had been off socializing when we got our family picture so we gathered again.
The funny thing was that it was Kathryn and Maggie taking the pictures for us and Kathryn's grandma and mom didn't realize what the girls were doing and kept taking pictures of them while they were trying to  take our picture.  They kept getting in front of us, again, not realizing we were trying to take a picture.  Kathryn finally had to tell them to move out of the way.  It was pretty funny :)

Cute Logan came to the matinee with his family and was eager to go find Matt afterward :)



Merill and Nancy were so kind to come to the matinee as well.


Dan and Becky came closing night.   
5 hours of driving for only about 3 hours in town.  It meant a lot that they made that effort!



This is Michelle  Palmer, the prop and costume lady.  She has always been so sweet to me.

Chasen Quilter and Psadi Takis.  Sasha Takis came twice and was so complimentary.

Hope Spaulding and Chasen (they are a couple and according to Matt, the best high school couple ever because there is no PDA :)



Abby had been able to come to every show but had go back to school before closing night.
I think she was feeling sad to not be there so she got on FaceTime with Josh to say hi to everyone.




Gabe Fenton and Tavis

Things were wrapping up and everyone was going to the dressing rooms to change but I wanted a shot of just Matt and Sam.   Even with a 2 year age difference, they had become really good friends through this experience.  When I asked them to pose for me this is what they did :)


Some social media posts...


What a time!  I seriously enjoyed every minute of it!
All the weeks (2.5 months) of running lines and practicing with Matt were so much fun.  He worked super hard and seriously did such an amazing job!  I couldn't have been prouder! 
Sad to see it come to a close.
