The musical McVeys just keep rolling merrily along.
After eight months on the road with the touring company of “Les Miserables,” they are back home. When 8-year-old Kylie went on tour with her father, Mark, mom Christie – determined to keep the family together – took 11-year-old Grace and went along. Home-schooled for the spring term, the girls’ experience traveling was certainly an educational one.
Once home, but not necessarily settling down, the acting and singing kept on going for everyone. Kylie acted in a music video this summer, “Young Marie,” recorded with a newish band called “Great Caesar” who “want to change the world one song at a time,” says Christie.
“They are seven guys from the same elementary school, now in their late 20s, who formed a band. They began with a Kickstarter project and raised $50,000. The short video was filmed in Connecticut in the backyards of their parents, with a different family providing the meal each night.” She pauses, then says, “They all have day jobs.”
