It's Been A While
It's been a while since I've posted anything since I haven't had internet at the past few hotels. So here's a smattering of what's been going on:
New Mexico is beautiful. In Farmington there was this amazing string of parks that made up their 'River Walk'. I went jogging in it one morning and it stretched on for miles along the river. In Alto we played the smallest theatre this tour has ever played. The 500 seat theatre is state of the art and located literally in the middle of nowhere on a mountain top. It's one of those great stories about a woman who was tired of driving to the bigger cities to see shows so she just built her own theatre. In Albequerque my friend Annie and I walked 2 miles to the theatre last night after the show. Had a drink and walked 2 miles back. It was one of my favorite tour nights so far. We talked a lot about professional theatre, dancers, actors, grad school and our lives. Some of the neighborhood we walked through was a little sketchy but you're usually fine in a college town.
We're down to almost one week of shows left. It will so weird being done having worked on the show for a year and a half. I don't think it will really hit me until later in the summer.
Today's matinee performance marks the 666th performance of the touring company. I think I've been with the show for about 420 or so of those performances. The mark of the beast? We'll see about that.
I'm heading to NY for a week so sit in on 'The Producer's' tour auditions and musician auditions. I can't wait. It will be my first round of auditions on that side of the table. I'm hoping it will be give me a lot of insight into that end of things. I'm also really looking forward to working with the director. I've heard great things about him and it should be fun.
In my spare time on the road I'm workin on the Peter Pan score for this summer in CDA. The piano/conductor score is a disaster so I'm trying to rewrite it out with my new computer program. It's also a good way to learn how to use the program. I can't wait to get the Chorus Line score and start learning that too. It'll be a busy summer but fun hopefully. I'm excited to be back at CDA and enjoy the northwest a little.
Well I guess that's all that's really new. We only have for cities left on the tour and then that's all she wrote. Weird but I guess all things must come to an end. Including this blog entry. So bye.
