Harry Potter is Here!

I just got the photos back from my Harry Potter party last month, and I am so excited with the way they turned out. My Performer Jocelyn, was Hermoine and she did a fabulous job. This party was so much fun to work and plan! Here is a glimpse of that very magical night.




I just loved watching how everyone responded to Hermoine's storytelling.

Wonderfully Wicked!




Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them? This is the main question in the musical, Wicked. As I get ready to launch my Glinda character next month, I decided to see the musical yesterday. The San Francisco production is playing at the Orpheum theatre at Market and 8th Street. The show is fabulous and a must see! Kendra Kassenbaum and Teal Wicks are amazing as the leads of Galinda and Elphaba. Adapted for the stage from Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, it tells the untold story of the witches of Oz: How one came to be known as good and the other wicked. It also provides some very interesting insight into the characters of the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, Scarecrow, and of the ruby slippers. I loved everything about this show and cannot wait to take my family back to see it!

Absolutely Alice


It has been an amazing week with all of the glowing emails that I have received about my performer's parties last week. This came in last night from one of our Cinderella clients. Thank you Lindy for sharing.



"Brittany was wonderful as Alice for my daughter's 4th birthday party. She was very professional and on time. The kids had a wonderful time with her and I was able to enjoy watching the kids have a great time at the party. I look forward to working with Brittany and the The Cinderella Company again. I loved that she brought a wonderful "magic" to the party. My daughter was so excited that Alice had come to have tea with her. Worth every penny!



Not just for girls!

Truly Tink


Being the person that I am, I pour my entire heart and soul into running both Just Imagine and The Cinderella Company, so I really love hearing back from my clients about their experiences. This is a recent review of my performer Jocelyn and The Cinderella Company: "Jocelyn made a lovely Tinkerbell. She was so great with the kids, and extremely professional with me. She got high ranks all around. Your service is wonderful. I am so very pleased and cannot think of any way to have you improve. You made my child's birthday so special. She asks me everyday when will Tinkerbell come back and when can she go to Neverland to visit with her. You guys are hard to top!"

Wicked

On occasion I will have clients who request multiple performers for their parties. At last week's Alice party, we had Alice, the Madhatter and the Queen of Hearts all together for a zany two hours entertaining children and parents. I have now been hired by a former client to host her children's Halloween party. Due to the ages of the children, I've suggested the lead characters from Wicked: Glinda and the Wicked Witch of the West. My performers Lisa A will be Glinda and Nicole, the Wicked Witch. Both are my singing perfomers and ideal for these roles. Glinda's dress is already in production and I cannot wait to see it. As for our storytelling, so much happened before Dorothy dropped into Oz. Long before the girl from Kansas arrives in Munchinland, two girls meet in the land of Oz. One born with emerald green skin~ is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular.
