Dreamers went well last night, I think. The feedback was generally very positive. John was very pleased with us. While he was singing "Dreamers" he turned to look at us and he told us we were great and stuff and that he was proud of us. I messed up a bit with the medley, but oh well. LOL I have no rythem.
Today mom and I went to see Fiddler on the Roof at Bicentennial. It was okay. Not great, not lousy. I don't know. I kept finding things that John had been harping on us about all week. Pizza hands, for one thing. Lack of focus, for another. They weren't breathing correctly, a lot of the time the went flat, they needed to annuciate more. A lot of them fidgeted. And there was a lot of acting rather than being. I'm glad that I'm noticing these things. I think it means I'm getting better, or at least more conscious about what *I* do on stage.
Speaking of, Bicentennial is doing "Into the Woods" next summer and I absolutely *love* that show. So Tina, who I've worked with in the past and who happens to be co-directing Into the Woods, came up to talk to me today. She said "I want you as Little Red Ridinghood. I'll try to talk Mike into it. Just keep working hard, i think you're perfect for the role. And don't worry too much about Mike. I know what I want, and I usually get it, too."
I was like "Woah." If that wasn't pre-casting, I don't know what is. I wonder, though, if I should audition. I mean... what about ethics? But I want to play Little Red so badly I can taste it... but it wouldn't be right if others didn't have a chance... I don't know.
