Very proud parent tonight. My oldest, Jessica, hit the stage for the first time tonight in a major musical production. She's starring as Marta Von Trapp in The Sound of Music, a musical which is on at the Opera House in Wellington. She beat 75 other hopefuls for the role, and she's been rehearsing for three months solid. Here's an interview with the cast on TVNZ this morning: http://tvnz.co.nz/view/video_popup_flash_skin/2105646
