Die Young, Live Forever
So, last night I had the weirdest and scariest dream ever. I swear if it ever happened to me in real life, I would hate myself. And of course cry alot. But before I delve into my strange dream, I will tell you all what I discovered today.
So, most people know I love Hugh Panaro who played both Raoul and The Phantom (Of course different years...duh) and he is going to be playing Lestat in the new Musical Lestat that is opening TONIGHT. I am absolutely in love with Hugh's voice so today I found some recordings of his voice. People would be watching Phantom with a recorder and obviously have it hidden. So I downloaded of bunch of Phantom with Hugh Panaro singing this morning. Then I was telling my mom that I wanted to see Lestat for my birthday. (Which is next Saturday, by the way.) So she then asked me, "Is he gay?" My search began. I have come to the conclusion that he is gay, sadly. But it's okay. I still love his voice. He made me cry so much when he was the Phantom. His voice makes you feel bad for his character eventhough he killed a few people.
But now onto my dream...I'll put it behind a cut I guess.
It takes place at the Arts Center and the high school was having a play. It was like Musical Theater classes play next year which was really strange because there are seniors from this year in the play. But anyways, I'm backstage in the first dressing room and I was getting in my costume. I was playing a vampire so I was put white make up on and trying to look dead. Now, for some reason, the cast was split up and Kate Farrell and I were sharing the role. She was playing this role the night before and I was playing it that night. I don't really know why to be completely honest. So Kate walks in and there's another part to my costume that looked really weird so I asked her, "How did Ash wear this costume last night? Did she wear this piece?" I was asking Kate how Ashlee wore her costume for some reason. Then while I'm in the dressing room I realize I have never heard the music to the play before. So I'm running around like an idiot looking for a cd. When I finally get the music to listen to, I realize I don't know any of my lines. So of course, no one has a script and I find Ed and I'm hysterical and he says, "I have my script at my house! I'll go get it!" So while he's going to get it we're practicing bows for the end but the audience is partially in their seats. I don't know when I come out or how I come out for the bow. So I just sort of walk out and by now my black costume has turned into my Corpse Bride Halloween costume. But as I finish my bow the people in the audience are standing and clapping like I just did something amazing. It was really really weird. After bows I'm running around after Mrs. Dooley and asking her if she by any chance new my opening line because I'm hoping it will be make me remember the rest of them. But she doesn't know it eventhough she's been watching us practice the play for weeks.
But the weirdest part of the dream was the name of the play. Lestat.
Oh but there was a performance part!!! I forgot!
We're all doing the opening of the show and picture the stage from a top view. (I'll sort of type the arrangement.)
So we're in that arrangement and in the opening their is a narraration off stage and they're telling the story of each person on stage. The narrarator says, "[Ed's character name here] is a successful man. He works for a company that is placed right in the heart of New York City. To him, his life is tedious. He sees no point in living by the same routine everyday. He wishes for something exciting to happen every day. That is until he meets Saraneth." While the narrarator is saying things, a Spotlight shines down on each person. So, then whoever someone was on that charter gets finished, it goes over to Ashlee. I remember he hair mainly for some reason. But trying to explain it in words would destroy the beauty of it. So the narrarator says, "Elizabeth. She walks down a street and heads turn. She looks like an angel and has the manorisms of one. Her musical talent swoon many and attract anyone who hears the melodic sound to her." Then the spotlight falls on me. "Saraneth. The bride. She wasn't really a Bride when the tragedy occured. She just happened to be wearing the dress she longed to wear in a real ceremony. Once a bright young happy woman, she fell in love. But like all happy stories, her ended quite sadly. The mysterious murder of the man she loved led her to also be the next victim. Which is why she is..."
And then I woke up. So I have no freakin clue what any of this meant. I know it is like the same period as Lestat. And the costume very very identical. I just wish I could have slept for five more seconds. I just want to know what my character was. I want to know if I ever remembered those lines. I want to hear the music that my mind would have added onto this story. Urg....it makes me so angry. But it seemed like a good play. I was kind of amused by it. HaHa.
Yeah, well, sorry for leaving you call hanging. Thank for reading this really long entry.
