Photos and other media from the Elton John & Tim Rice
musical AIDA at the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse

----- ----- -----

These photos are from the musical production of Elton John and Tim Rice's "AIDA" at the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse during April and May of 2009. This was the fourth production of their 19th season. The show ran for a total of four weekends. It was my fourth show at the Playhouse and it was a wonderful experience! I would most definitely do it again (if I could commit the time). If you have some photos of this production that you would like me to put on this website, just email me!
