In Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Lexi will portray a narrator.Lexi is the daughter of Chad and Jennifer Marshall.
What musicals have you been in at NCHS and what characters/roles did you play?
I was in The Music Man as a river city kid, I was an extra in The Little Mermaid, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Cinderella. Now I am a Narrator in Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
What was your favorite musical and why?
Thoroughly Modern Millie was my favorite. I didn’t know what to expect plot wise but it ended up being one of the most fun. The cast was small and so I got to build better relationships with people.
What scene in Joseph is your favorite and why? (This does not have to be a scene you are in)
My favorite scene so far has to be Those Canaan Days. I love the choreography and the song in general. It is going to be a favorite by anyone who watches it.
What are three things being in the musical have taught you? and how have you learned these?
Musical has taught me perseverance. Sometimes I don’t want to be at practice but I have to think that all of it is worth it in the end. Musical has also taught me that everything is an audition. Everything that I do is being watched and it can reflect on what part I may get. If you don’t perform your best in real life, then how can you perform well on stage? The last thing musical has taught me is hard work. I have learned that if I don’t try my best and work hard for what I want, it won’t be served to me on a silver platter.
What are two pieces of advice you would give young people who want to start performing in musicals at NCHS?
Be prepared for everything. Whether it’s a change in choreography or not getting the part you worked hard for. Also, try your best. Everything you do is worth it in the end, even if you don’t see it in that moment.
What qualities do you see exemplified in the adults who help put on this show that you will take with you as you leave NCHS and how do they demonstrate these qualities?
There is so much dedication and hard work shown by the adults of this production. From the pit to the costume ladies, and the directors and construction workers. Everyone does their part and does it well.
What will you miss the most once the final curtain closes on your NCHS musical career?
I will miss the family I have in musical and the memories I have made.
