Nephi and the Sword of Laban

I had the fun opportunity of photographing a musical at the Peery Egyptian Theater. What an awesome theater! It was such a fun setting for this musical, which covered the first part of the Book of Mormon. The story that most members of the church know best of all is put to life and song by Sherry Allred. It was really fun to watch, through my lens of course. I loved doing this photo shoot, editing it was fun as well because I got to re-live the musical through the pictures.
If you're familiar with the Book of Mormon you'll probably be able to tell which scenes these pictures are portraying.

I'll help out with the characters a bit:

Nephi, played by Chase Peterson, amazing talent just like his dad.

Now, I LOVE how Sherry wrote this part of the musical.  To depict the mists of darkness she used dancers.

And she used dancers to portray the hunting scene.

Someday there will be sequels to this musical.  Sherry, you're awesome! We can't wait to see what you come up with next.  Oh and by the way, she's also written a book Called Corvette. Check it out!
