Thank you so much for the tip on Lost in the Stars. I'd never heard of it before . . . and now I've ordered it! Strangely, what drew me in on the very first page was Paton's description of the land that is "beautiful beyond any singing of it" -- a phrase that made me instantly tear up. And here they are, of course, singing of it! :)
Nootster: YES!!!!!!!!!!! Like a travelling camp counsellor, with toys and games for the kids. They loved it, and so did their parents. The non-family passengers and the crew were all smiles too.
Julie: Wait 'til you hear Todd Duncan sing the "Johannesburg" song...it's a killer. Not to mention the title song ("Lost in the Stars")...and many of the others.
Everyone: Julie is talking about the musical Kurt Weil wrote in 1949, adapting the book "Cry, the Beloved Country," by Alan Paton.

A very sweet photo.
