"You clear away the dead things, so the tender buds can form
Secret Garden has begun. :-) Yesterday was our first day. What fun we had getting all requanited with one another in our car pool. I love my carpool. So then we arrived. We walked into the wrong building, the gym area, which was weird. We finally were moved over to the other building by Laura who I greeted with a hug. Then more people started to arrive: Colleen & Sam & I hung out pretty tightly and we hung around alot today. I missed many of my summer theatre people. Many of whom I havent seen since last summer. We introduced ourselves or for some reintroduced. Then got our auditon pieces- The guys had a monolouge by Archibald and had to sing either "Lily's Eyes" or "Wick". We praticed & such for awhile then it was up to us over 24 hours to memorize and be ready for today's auditons. I ran around looking for a copy of the Original Broadway Cast, no luck, then tried to downloaded some of the music of I-tunes and burn them to CD, which failed miserably. Then went home empty handed and praticed till atleast 12:15. Then slipted off into dream land.
Then awoke for auditon day. Awoke feeling slightly unsure, yet somewhat confident. Carpool arrived. We sang "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "Seasons of Love" to calm our nerves. Watched as Elise was stalked by a man walking by as we waited at the stop light, and laughed hysterically. Then arrived. We reviewed. Kevin arrived, he had told me he wasnt sure if he was coming, but he did, so yay! Then we went outside and auditons began. Chosen at random: Jill went first. I went second. I got very nervous. I walked in on Jeff & Laura dicussing Jill's preformance, which is very awkard. Then was asked "Sing or monologue first?" I chose song, because I had just done it. Then was asked "Which song" to which I replied "Lily's Eyes" and I did alittle nervous dance which Jeff asked if it was my "Lily's Eyes dance" to which I said "Yes" and danced somemore. I sang and got alittle nervous but Jeff helped me through then when I was done said "Wow" which wasnt sure if it was a good or bad Wow. Then did my monologue pretty well. I'm nervous yet exicted. I watched everyone else go. We have 8 people left to auditon, then callbacks begin tomorrow. I watched Sam & Colleen go in and come out, I felt their nerves. I felt everyone's nerves. Me & Colleen were bopping out to my Ipod. I swear, this girl makes my day. Her & that crazy guy stalking Elise. I spoke to a source inside on this project who told me that nothing bad came from my auditon, which is good to know. Thank you source. For all you're helpful words.
So thats pretty much it. The subject is from the song "Wick" from Secret Garden.
Lyric Piece:
When a thing is wick, it has a life about it.
Now, maybe not a life like you and me.
But somewhere there's a single streak of green inside it.
Come, and let me show you what I mean.
When a think is wick, it has a light around it.
Maybe not a light that you can see.
But hiding down below a spark's asleep inside it,
Waiting for the right time to be seen.
You clear away the dead parts,
So the tender buds can form,
Loosen up the earth and
Let the roots get warm,
Let the roots get warm.
Come a mild day, come a warm rain,
Come a snowdrop, a-comin' up!
Come a lily, come a lilac!
Come to call,
Callin' all the rest to come and see!
MARY:
When a thing is wick,
And someone cares about it,
And comes to work each day, like you and me,
Will it grow?
DICKON:
It will!
MARY:
Then have no doubt about it,
We'll have the grandest garden ever seen!!
[Spoken]
Oh, Dickon, I want it all to be wick! Would you
come and look at it with me?
DICKON:
I'll come every day, rain or shine if you want me.
All that garden needs is for us to come wake it up!
MARY:
But, Dickon, what if we save the garden, then Uncle
Archie takes it back, or Colin wants it?
DICKON:
Ay, what a miracle that would be, gettin' a poor
crippled boy out to see his mother's garden!
[Sung]
MARY and DICKON:
You give a living thing
A little chance to grow,
That's how you will know
If she is wick, she'll grow.
So grow to greet the morning,
Leave the ground below.
When a thing is wick
It has a will to grow and grow.
MARY:
Come a mild day, come a warm rain,
Come a snowdrop, a-comin' up!
Come a lily, come a lilac!
Come to call, calling all the rest to come!
MARY and DICKON:
Calling all the rest to come!
Calling all the world to come!
DICKON:
Oh, somewhere there's single streak of green below,
MARY and DICKON:
And all through the darkest nighttime,
It's waiting for the right time.
When a thing is wick, it will grow!
