Lots of auditions!
Haha. Just read this thing on broadwayworld that I thought was kind of funny:
When The Gay Life opened on Broadway in 1961, the majority of theatre-goers probably still interpreted the title as meaning joyous and elegant, especially as it pertained to the musical's locale of 1904 Vienna. But time has antiquated that definition and those who license rights to perform the show have altered its name to The High Life in order to avoid confusion. (Except perhaps for a few stoners who might have been expecting the musical version of Reefer Madness.) But gay or high, this champagne cocktail of a musical by Arthur Schwartz (music), Howard Dietz (lyrics) and Fay & Michael Kanin (book) is just the kind of overlooked charmer that Musicals Tonight! does so well.
I thought it was sad that we can't take the word 'gay' as meaning happy anymore :P
So, today we got our Shakespeare parts. I'm Abraham in the opening scene of Romeo and Juliet. Woohoo. (yes, that was sarcasm). I have like 5 lines, the longest being "Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?". But that's okay. Congrats to everybody, like Becky, who is Juliet "Oh, happy dagger..." :P and Mark H. who is Macbeth, and Katie and Hana who have a scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream (funny play :) ) and Kylyn, who probably has one of the greatest parts: the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet. lol, that Nurse is crazy, I swear. So congrats to everybody, I'm sure we're going to do awesome on Shakespeare night :)
We got our Uncle Phil's Diner 2 parts yesterday, and I'm Wally again :) I'm positive that this year's Uncle Phil's is going to be way better than last years, so all of you people who didn't come last year need to come this year. And congrats to everybody on that :) Molly-Flodene, David-Principal Krepple, Erika-Scoop McGinty, Ashley K.-Bunny Sue, Chelsea-Gertie (again), Kylyn-Ms. Poem, Riley-Elvis fan club leader, and lots of other people!
Now there's just Aladdin auditions on the 21st!
I think I'm being the Wizard of Oz (WICKED version) for the Anita's Halloween party. And if not, then I'm going to be Howard Hughes, just because I already have the costume.
So now, finally, after this really long entry:
Peace out.
"I could shove an ice pick in my eye
I could eat some fish from last July
But it wouldn't be as awful as a summer in Ohio
Without cable, hot water, Vietnamese food, or you"
