Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

We opened tonight to a standing ovation. Very cool. I've now sung this show through since Wednesday and I will be on voice rest tomorrow so that I can sing the two shows that are left this weekend. I'm singing from the pit and I'm beat. I can't even imagine how the cast is feeling. There are four of us singing in the pit with the orchestra. It's all the fun of doing the show without having to learn choreography or deal with costumes and makeup but I do miss being on the stage.

I'm auditioning in November for a show called "Big River." Should be interesting. There are only a few women's parts because the show is about Huckleberry Finn. Hope I get in. I really need to find some shows to do now that ACLO is gone. Well, off I go to get some rest. We're going to a wedding tomorrow and then off to the theater. What a weekend!

How did they handle casting? When we did it, they brought in all these extra kids, which not only boosted attendance, but also created just a few problems backstage - so, so much energy. I was really surprised that we didn't do better overall with it, but I think it's the ecomony more than the show. How are your houses?

Big River - heh, we called it Big Headache, mostly because our Huck Finn was frequently stoned. He's now one of our best actors, but there was a time... Do let us know if you got cast.

I'd say get some rest, but, hey, theatre... we can sleep when we're dead...

Sounds very exciting but exhausting as well! Hope you've managed to get plenty of rest. =)

Good luck with that!
