OCTOBER 15, 2023 |
This weekend was nothing short of a dream come true. No words can explain the level of joy these last 2 days has brought to our entire crew. After 3 years of long distance friendship, Bri and Raina officially met in person. These last 2 months of planning this trip was full of so many emotions, doubt, and anticipation, but if this year has taught us anything, it’s that absolutely ANYTHING you put your mind to is possible. A whole crew flew in from all over the country to support our girl, Merle Dandridge, in Cleveland as she narrated for Penelope at Severance Hall. The energy in the room was so high and the pure joy on everyones faces during the entire concert is something we’ll never forget.
5 months after our girl Caroline Queiroz met Merle, Briana Bailey was able to witness MD in her element on the stage at Pasadena Playhouse as Desiree Armfeldt, and met her afterwards. Almost exactly 6 months after this, Raina Gerald was able to not only meet Bri in person, but also have one of her biggest dreams come true, not only witnessing Merle in her element, but also meeting Merle for the first time. Now we can say that 3/4 of our gang has met the person who is the reason we created this page and have formed such incredible bonds with each other.
Life can get crazy at times, but absolutely nothing can take away the love we have for MD. The sweetest, talented, most caring person ever. As we’ve stated before, she takes the time to interact with us fans no matter how busy her schedule may be and we are forever grateful. We can’t thank you enough, Merle. Your light shines so SO bright, and we’re forever proud of you. No matter what you do, no matter what lengths we have to go, we’ll always come together to shower you with our love and support.
What a freakin weekend.
