It is hard to believe......

Wow it is hard to believe that this is the last weekend of High Fidelity. Not like I knew it was going to stop soon, but soon turned into this weekend. I am so glad that I was considered for this part. It was sort of a coming home party for the last couple of months. I found my programs and reviews the other day for the first show that I did with New Line, Attempting the Absurd. Man did I have fun with that one too. It sort of felt the same way as High Fidelity felt. Scott wrote Attempting the Absurd, and how I love to help mold a piece from the beginning. I can still remember Scott not liking how the scene in the courtroom was working in Absurd, and changed the lines a couple of days before we opened, I was petrified, but sort of excted to be challenged like that. I felt the same way of being challenged with High Fidelity. Being in this show is not like being in your typical musical. This is a type of music that I don't listen to anymore. I do, but not constantly, and know every lyric, and guitar riff. I know musicals, I have been doing them forever, and they are always in my car, because either I am listening to a song to block it while I am driving or I am learning music and dialogue. JUst to look back on this experience and just think wow, we were the first ones to bring this piece to life after it got canned on Broadway. Every night Scott ends his pep talk with "truth" make the characters true, and I am taking that with me now even more than when I would do shows before. The truer you make your character the more believable it will be. Hell I don't even know when I will be back on stage. It took me two and a half years for me to get to do this show. And what an experience it was to have the lyricist at our show, and give the leads such great compliments. Kudos to all the leads in this show, and what a great chorus we have too. Always jumping in to help whenever they can.
Well if you haven't come to see the show you may be out of luck, tonight and Saturday are pretty much sold out, and there are still tickets to tomorrows performance. And if you bring in the postcard you can get in with two for one. Hope you make it if you haven't all ready.
