So, the senior BFA Acting class is having a fundraiser show this Th through Sun. It's a variety show, and originally I was just helping out this one girl do a dreary version of the Vitametavegimin skit from I Love Lucy. I have, like, three lines... I'm just helpin' this girl out. Well, one of the acts lost all her singin' partners, so I said I'd sing with her. We were going to sing "The Next 10 Minutes" from The Last 5 Years... but the pianist said he couldn't learn it in 3 days... understandable. So instead, we got another guy and girl and we're going to do "The New World" from Songs for the New World. Seriously... I couldn't be more excited. I'm singing the Baritone part... perfectly in my range and I get to show off a bit... the song is BEAUTIFUL!!!! And, not to brag or anything, but all four of us are kick ass singers! We sound fantastic on the parts we're getting down. The crazy ending, harmonies, and all that we still have to work on, but for just getting the song today, we fuckin' rock :D I'm so excited. And I'm especially excited to BE SINGING AGAIN!!! Shit, I haven't sung for a paying audience in ages! Almost three years... The Wizard of Oz was the last one and that was... meh. Fun show, but as for really singing, not so much. So I'm super pumped. We're working on it again tomorrow... I just... I can't get enough of it. JRB, man, master at what he does! So, people should come if they can. It's $5 at the door... we're the opening act, kickin' it off with a bang, and then I don't know when my dreadful little scene is going, but it should be fun to watch, haha. So yeah, come if you can... I'll mention it on Facebook too... I'd love to see your lovely faces. Th-Sat @ 7:30pm and Sun @ 2pm... but don't quote me on the Sunday show. Th-Sat for sure... Sun TBD. :)
