what do an elderly shopkeep, a pilgrim, and a dreidel have in common?
they will soon be voiced by me!
in june i did one performance of this show "cinderella's mice" with the vital children's theatre in NYC (i played a stepsister and it was kind of awesome), and this GLORIOUS woman who works there has been throwing me recommendations ever since. including this guy who's casting for an internet cartoon that will appear on atomfilms.com. the premise is a bunch of holiday decorations at a hallmark store stage a coup to overthrow the insurgent christmas decorations, which come earlier this year. i read for the three aforementioned parts and santa (and he doesn't want me to read for santa, which is odd, since i thought i did the best at that), and on saturday i get to go record. i'll be used for at least one of the parts, and i get paid. a paid voiceover job! and i didn't even have to seek it out!!
then last night i had a dream that i went to record at the studio (conveniently located in astoria) and downstairs they were filming the SWEENEY TODD movie, about which i am TERRIBLY excited, even though i think johnny depp and helena bonham carter are TOTAL miscasts as sweeney and lovett (too pretty, for one; too young, for another). i don't remember much about it other than i was shitting my pants it was so exciting.
i'm really excited for there to be a good studio-driven movie production of a sondheim musical, especially since that one's probably my favorite ever. i still lose my mind when they start building those "sweeney sweeney sweeney SWEENEY SWEENEY SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEENEEEEEEEEEEEEY!" chords. totally chilling.
beth cooper and i once spent inordinate amounts of money to fly to chicago for one day to see bryn terfel sing sweeney at the chicago lyric opera. we missed our flight and got there late and had to watch act I on a monitor in the lobby. we watched act II, smoked a cigarette outside in the blistering chicago winter wind, then got back on the plane and flew home. 18 hours and hundreds of dollars. and i still say it was money well spent.
