Early in the Morning, and I dwell on One Thing ...
This is the last weekend of the play I'm in. The reviews came out this week, and ... well, there's no tactful way to put it ... the critics thought the show blew ... not just blew, but (in one case) was an embarrasement to theatre in Las Vegas. Now, I should be upset about this ... excepy both reviewers thought that myself and another actress were the reasons to see this show. That blows my mind. In the 15 years (yep, 15 years) I've been in theatre, I have NEVER been a reason to see a show ... hell, I wasn't even mentioned in most any reviews until I moved out here. This is a whole new area for my mind (and ego). But it just re-enforces my goals. That I actually am talented, and that I am meant to be here right now, and that I am to keep doing what I love. I really am an artist, I really am good. It's a lot for one girl to absorb.
Here are the excerpts from the reviews:
"Amy Elizabeth Nixon, as a woman who believes a young waitress was her husband in another life, proves once again in "Past Lives" that she is a vibrant, exciting talent. " -- Tony DelValle, Las Vegas Review Journal
"(Name Deleted) in the closing playlet and Amy Elizabeth Nixon as a sassypants psychic seer of past lives in the opening salvo hold up a tent that otherwise collapses in on itself after 50 quickie minutes." --Steve Bornefeld, Las Vegas Weekly
In other news, *Elpheba, *Boq, and myself watched a bootleg copy of the Original Broadway cast of "Wicked". What a fun show, I would one day love to be part of it. Just phenomenal.
My guy and I are still together and going strong. He is amazing, and I try to let him know that every day. We've both had some rough times lately, but we've come through with flying colours so far. I think things will only get better from here.
That's all from me for now... have to get ready for the day ahead. My love to you all, and I can't wait until we all see each other again! *Muah!!
