He's The King

The night before I left for Dallas was JR's debut as King Arthur.

 

And, as we all know,  I might exaggerate from time to time to make a story better, but seriously, there's no exaggeration here:

He was the youngest in the show and the lead.  He was King Arthur in a play titled "King Arthur".

No matter what, he was going to make or break this play.

 

 

I was so nervous I thought I might throw-up.

JR was nervous in the first scene (which I could tell) but then got into a rhythm and nailed it.

 

(I stayed nervous until the very last scene.)

 

We were so proud of him, and so thankful that he had so many people in the audience supporting him.

 

 

JR as Arthur, the boy who would be king.

JR as King Arthur. He couldn't have loved the sword props more.

 

 

Talking with Merlin the Wizard.

 

 

His first love interest, Guenevere!

(Of course, they look a little mismatched, Guenevere being an older woman of 12 and all.)

 

 

 

And a few videos for you:

This one is King Arthur welcoming his new Knights of the Round Table (and only 29 seconds).

 

 

This one is one of his two choreographed sword fights.

(This one includes a mishap so watch for a flying sword..and only 43 seconds.)

 

 

 

JR's sweet friends fan club:

 

Friend Nicolas from school

 

 

And the neighborhood friends, Alex and Nolan

 

 

His next turn on stage will be in Alice in Wonderland this summer, he's already talking about what part he wants!
