TUrn the World Off....

I can't believe it that the day has come. We are getting ready to performa our last show of High Fidelity. I had no idea that when I agreed to do this show, that I would actually have gotten this hooked on the show, and I feel like I will actually miss it. I am sure I have written about feeling like I have come full circle with New Line, starting with Attempting the Absurd and original unproduced show, and now being the first group outside of NYC to do High Fidelity. Granted it wasn't an un produced piece, but we made it our own, and it is good. Thank GOd I didn't have to get a mohawk. Thank you Scott for getting me out of that one. I am getting used to the green hair, although when I take the greaan out each night I feel like there is more white underneath.

I love how this cast has made the show their own. It is a majority Jeff's show, but we are all there to support him, and Todd as Bruce Springsteen, and Aaron and Zack as Dick and Barry, Margeau as Marie, Nikki as Liz, Kimi as Laura, and Robb making a wacky Ian. And the rest of us that support each of those characters somehow.

I guess I will put out there my top moments that I love to watch during the show. In no particular order.

1) Todd as Bruce, man he really got it down.....even though we can't watch it we can feel the energy. Kudos

2) Number 5 with a bullet.....again kudos to Kimi and the girls and Robb, as with Todd us guys can't see it but it is fun to feel the energy.

3) My favorite part personally is when the guys, during 9% Chance sing "Isn't Dead" and slide up to the new chord. I feel like we hit that every night and we nail it. LOVE IT!

4) The looks between Margeau and Lori during Ready to Settle....

and 5) Jeff you rock on Laura, Laura...I love that song, and you are so into it everynight.

Scott I love watching you direct, and you are amazing at what you do, I hope I can do more shows with you guys, and learn even more. Trish, you ROCK! I have never met a stage manager that cared so much for her cast, and you made my hair what it is today......The BAND! You guys rock the crap out of this score. Even fill in people, damn you guys are good. I may write more, but tonight after the show will be late, and then tomorrow I will be working, and trying to stay awake. Thank you if you came to see this amazing show, and Klepto boy signing out!
