Heading down to the finish line
I'm getting ready to wrap up my San Diego tour this week.
I'm heading to Redlands on Saturday the 21st, really early in the morning.
Then Redlands until the 15th of August, Sacramento for a few days, then a drive across country. GAWD. Fucking Nebraska.
Also, I have a lot of clothes. And books. WTF.
I'm working all this week too. And when I talked to my manager, I was like let's let my last day be Thursday, so I can pack on Friday. And she was cool with it today. And then I got my schedule and I'm working all week. I mean its 30 hours, and that's money I can use. But I don't have too much packing time, unless I do it all in the evening. And I have to open all week. Guh.
Avenue Q rocked last night. There really is puppet nudity and graphic puppet sex. Kelli Sawyer is much better than Stephanie D'Arbuzzo, the woman on the recording and in the original cast. Sawyer has a stronger voice and better stage presence. She can also carry the longer notes with more ease and isn't as nasally. The actor playing Trekkie and Nicky=HAWT!
Speaking of HAWT, that'd be me and Rachel last night. Hottest people there.
Speaking of hottest people there, wtf has happened to theatre etiquette? People were arriving late (seriously?) and these actors were busting their asses off and I've considered it standard to giving a standard O to a great performance, and particularly when you can tell that the actors have been working hard. These actors were sweating and busting their asses off---you could see the sweat on their faces and bodies. It's hard work to be on the stage ALL the TIME. And they were.
And also, like I know there is no official dress code for the theatre, but there were people there in ratty jeans and tee shirts.
Like jeans and a button down--okay. It is a special thing to go to the theatre. Not only is it expensive, but you are getting a special performance, just for you. No performances are the same. It's an experience. Dressing up a titch adds to the fun and shows some respect for the performance. It's not the movies; you can't just go into the theatre in your PJs.
But ratty jeans? It's like no thought goes into it at all.
Maybe I'm old fashioned and weird, and I mean I don't mind jeans, but there are jeans and there are jeans. Respect yourself at these types of venues. Guh.
And turn off your effing cell phone.
God damn cell phones.
God damn puppet sex. Now I'm ruined for all musicals. If it doesn't have full puppet nudity, it's just not good enough.
