They like us!

After weeks of rehearsal, we opened last weekend to great acclaim! I have to admit I was a little scared of the audience reaction. It is a brand new show so I wasn't sure what to expect... but.... they LIKE us! They REALLY like us! That's always a nice feeling. Also the director from the show I did earlier this year, "Jake's Women" came to see the show and he offered me a part in a play we've been talking about. This is now TWO shows in a row that I didn't even have to really audition for. A girl could get used to that. :) The next play will rehearse in January and run through February JUST LIKE "Jake's Women". :)

So... that's all for now. I'm off to walk the dog. I promise to write more over the weekend and actually post photos. :)

Thoughts From a Rehearsal

I was never the best singer, dancer or actress. But in the past I was pretty damn good. Now.... Well, after years of being out of practice I had hoped that 3 weeks of rehearsal would whip my singing voice back into shape. However, like many other things in life, that's just not as easy to do now that I'm no longer 18. I was really, stressing out about it but, at this point, since we open in 2 days, I really can't do much about it and it's not helping to stress about it. So, for this musical, I'm essentially having to just roll with it. Funnily enough, I just described my upcoming wedding the same way. I told someone "Well, we're so close now that we can't sit around and cry because it's not what we had envisioned. At this point we just have to find a way to make it work and roll with it."

I guess that's a pretty good way to deal with a lot of things in life, right?

Ok... must get some sleep. This whole, moving, doing a show and planning a wedding thing is exhausting!

SHOWTIME!

So, Curtis and I just moved, had an elopement and are still planning a wedding that is taking place rather soon.... what better time to be in a musical?! :)

So, yes, we are in a show called Zombie Love. It's about a girl who falls in love with a zombie.

We are in rehearsals right now. It's been a lot of fun, but I discovered that back around the time when Curtis proposed and I was very sick with a terrible cough, I hurt my voice terribly. I don't know what I did, but it's not the same. I've been slightly hoarse ever since. I didn't think it affected my singing voice, but it did. That has shaken me up quite a bit.

Aside from that it's been a really good thing to be in a show with Curtis. I've missed being in a musical. I just wish my voice wasn't so shot. It's distracting me from other aspects of my performance so, that's something I need to work on.

We only have two rehearsals left.

Yikes.
