Playing Disney Princesses seems to be a thing for me, I have played a lot of them over the years in shows and concerts and really who doesn't want to be a Disney Princess??
While i have played many of the favourites (Belle and Ariel being two of mine), I now have the challenge of playing a lesser known one, AIDA. Now, putting aside the fact that my skin is technically the wrong colour this role is an interesting and different one for me. Aida, which is set in ancient times, is taken into slavery by the neighboring Egyptians. She must now deal with being a servant to her enemies while trying to conceal her identity yet come to an acceptance of who she must be, the leader of her people in slavery. At the same time she is falling in love with the Captain of the Eqyptian Guard. So life is a little crazy, and through it Aida must accept who she is.
When I play a role, I always try and find a connection between me, Bec, and the character I am playing. When looking at Aida, I do understand what she is going through. Many times in my life I have to be so many things to so many people. There is what you are expected to be, what situations cause you to be and then who you believe yourself to be, and often this can cause us to doubt ourselves and what God has called us to be.
Do you ever feel like that?
I know that God made me for a purpose. Often I feel that I am not living that, or I am confused as to what I meant to do but I trust in His love, in the love of those around me who help guide and push me towards the things I was meant to do.
Singing is one of the them 😊
So I invite you to come along to this musical "Aida" by Hills Musical Company. We open in TWO WEEKS!! Music and lyrics by Elton John and Tim Rice. With an unforgettable score, featuring soaring ballads and rousing choral numbers, Aida is a modern crowd-pleaser. I am sure you will love it.
PLUS my actual Father, Howard, is again playing my father on stage. Dad is the Nubian King and it is a pleasure to be working with him again in something new.
I hope you have a wonderful week. Here's to being a Princess with Purpose ;)
