We’re all loving the warm audience responses here in Appleton, WI. Today is our build for habitat for humanity. Seventeen of us are on the bus to the site. Michael Boxleitner who is Melissa’s son, who plays Nellie Oelsons kid brother in the show is our leader today. We’re all VERY excited. Next week is our easter lay off. We have the week with family and friends celebrating Passover, easter and just being home. We reunite as the Little House on the Prairie family in Spokane, WA the week April 6th.
Hi, I was at the Appleton performance on Sat March 27th and was disappointed that Melissa Gilbert was not playing Ma. Just wondering what happened?? It was still a great performance, don’t get me wrong, I still loved the show. Was just disappointed that we didn’t get to see Melissa perform. She’s a great actress and that was a big part of the excitement of going to see the show. I’m a HUGE fan of the television series and just really wanted to see her. Thanks!! Again, to everyone that did perform, wonderful job, you were AWESOME!!
Dear Elisha:
I know Melissa was very, very sorry she had to miss those performances on Saturday. She feels a great responsibility to the show and to her many fans. She has had a recurring back problem, which is going to be attended to during the Easter holiday when the show has no performances scheduled.
We are all very proud of Meredith Inglesby who is Melissa’s excellent understudy. We’re glad you enjoyed the performance. We all enjoyed performing for you. It was a GREAT engagement.
Happy Holiday from all of the Little House on the Prairie family.
That show was a snoozer. )I heard it’s worse when Gilbert performs and that the audience was lucky to have Blanchard’s wife perform! Eeerrrr, I wouldn’t want to be doing that same ol’ show every day of my life either! What a drabby, boring show.
I LOVED the show, but was bummed I didn’t get to see Melissa Gilbert either. Meredith did a fantastic job though and I soon forgot about my disappointment. Hope Melissa’s back is better now! I would also LOVE for you to come out with a CD. The music was AMAZING!
Is there any chance for a soundtrack?? I’m still hearing the songs in my head and its been a month and a half since the show!!
im kinda tired and tired of the battery on my phone going down so fast, seriously annoys the heck outta me, see what happens, find a good site and BAM my battery is dead, so yeah, i luckily had enough battery to read this and post the comment haha, i have no life. yay me!
