Hello my Lovelies,
Well, it's been a VERY busy week, but I'm pleased to be blogging again! Last weekend I saw 2 musicals with Natey J. (He is Husband to my friend the lovely Lo- Girl who won that big
Broadway reality TV show last year!) So while Lo-Girl was doing her big
Broadway show , her hubby & I went to see Adding Machine on Friday night and then went to see Glory Days on Sunday afternoon.
I have to say that I was very excited by Adding Machine! It was a very dark show that was kind of a combination of Sondheim and Adam Guettel & Jerry Herman. And I really felt like each of the songs were a monologue instead of a song.... Was very good! And so dark! And the story is super relevant today - Man works counting numbers for same company for 25 years, gets replaced by an Adding Machine and kills his boss. (that last bit isn't too relevant - but being replaced by technology is pretty relevant!)
Then I saw Made of Honor on Saturday night - with my girlfried M.Stryker. (I love her last name - and the joke it makes. When we first met she introduced herself and I said "Strike her! But I just met her!) Bad joke, but a good friend!
We thought the movie was especially cheesy but it was fun to see the NYC locations that pretty girl & Mc Dreamy go to! (and there's this one bakery that's like a mystery bakery -it's not Magnolia Bakery or Amy's --- it has a brown awning and looks very village-ish... If anyone can figure it out, I'll buy you a cupcake there & overnight it from NY!)
So Sunday I went with Natey J. again to see Glory Days. (or Glory Day as the critics are calling it). The show closed on it's opening night. Sad. I feel bad that they even produced it on Broadway - it was good for off Broadway or off-off Broadway, but really who ever thought that was a good idea also probably thinks that reviving Floro Dora is a good idea....
Onto the week! Was a pretty good week!
Auditions:
- Oklahoma at Papermill Playhouse. I gave myself a 9 on a scale of 1-10 as far as auditions go! Felt really good about it!
- Cohoes Music Hall for their season. This was a 10 for sure! I rocked it out.
- The Guys and Dolls chorus call for Portland Stage. I gave my audition a 9 here. It was good, I sounded great & was funny - they thought I was charming... AND... GAVE ME A CALLBACK! I'm going to the "invited dancers" call on Tuesday morning! (Fancy that - me! And "Invited Dancer!" ... is that like a Private Dancer?)
So all in all a good week of auditions - and a sad week for our musical theatre class -- was the Last week of the 7 week class I've been taking! The casting director is my doppelganger - at least so I've been told! (by like 50 people - but I think she's very nice looking, so I'll take that as a compliment) So we'll call her the Telsey Twin, as she is from Telsey casting!
She enjoyed my songs and I hope she will shove me at who ever is in charge of casting Wicked. I'd give my left boob to play tree number three in that show!
