There Is No Other Answer.

Best song from The Sound of Music?  I Have Confidence.
Any other answer?  YOU ARE DEAD TO ME!!!

General Update

1. Ugly Betty and Judith Light as Daniel’s mother?  This show keeps getting better!  And when will Betty date that other guy?  Please dump your boyfriend, dammit.  Fanboy what?
2. Fashion House is finally getting into the end game.  Maria is stopping William and La Fairchild’s plan by taking money from teh Mob, so William is [...]

So close… so happy.

So… yeah.
I had the ever vaunted Romeo and Juliet audition on Saturday.  It involved talking with the director, doing some stage combat, and was easily the longest audition I’ve ever had at the Lyric.  Two things happened:
1. I learned that in my current medical state, I don’t think that I would have been able to [...]

Photos of IeT

I’m the dead body in the far up left corner of the stage. 
Most of the photos tend to be after the mass carnage at the end of the plot, but at least it gives me a chance to post pictures of yummy Lucas who playes Oreste.

Yeah, it’s good stuff.  Six shows to go.

And now there’s drama surrounding Salome.  [...]

The end

Rehearsals are officially OFFICIALLY over, and I can focus on getting my mental health back again.  Thank the fates or the gods or whatev.
Of course, first we had to do the Final Dress.  My hair had to be pretty and I was already lying on my good side for the aria-of-bosom-clutching…  it’s possible that there [...]

Rehearsals Are Done!

Had the final rehearsal today.  Tomorrow is the Final Dress, there’s a run with the understudies on Thursday, and then the show it up.  I don’t consider any of the upcoming days at the theatre a “rehearsal”.  I’ve done my job, and we’re ready to go.
Bring it on.
Can I get my emotions back to normal [...]

Follow-up

The issues are being discussed.
I am still tired, and have been running at full speed since last Friday.  Should have a full day off on Sunday.  Hopefully.
Need to powerclean the apartment for the Parental Unit visit on Opening Weekend.
Did I mention that I get my head in Susan Graham’s bosom every show?
Going to sleep now.  [...]

Griping, Opera, and Realism

[EDIT: This is my first Friends-locked post in quite some time, but I think it is warranted. Enjoy my anger!]
I’m trying to hold off on going into a major rant at rehearsal towards my colleagues.  I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it to the Final Dress, but I’m going to try.
This [...]

Still Tired

The marathon started Friday morning at rehearsal.  I’ve been going non-stop since then, with a final break in the clouds Wednesday evening (just in time to watch Fashion House live while the TiVo records ANTM) to get things accomplished.
I can’t wait, even if it’s 6 days coming.
And next Tuesday, I finally get my life back.  [...]

Oy, my side

Back when I met with my Doctor after vacation, he said quite clearly “It may be a good thing if you don’t get cast at the Opera.”  I understood that sentiment on an intellectual basis, but to me it seemed that the financial/medical benefits would outweigh any physical/mental harm of rehearsing through the treatments.
I was [...]
