Moving right along!

We've blocked the whole show now! Woot! And next week and from then on, we'll be in the theatre! I can't believe how quickly it's all happened. I guess time really does fly when you're having fun :]

I have been introduced to the infamous "Millerogrophy." Or however you wanna spell it. And I will admit, it's interesting. I love the song "Money Kept Rollin' In" but I was very afraid of what exactly we'd be doing in it. And it wasn't that bad! I was really more nervous to find out what Millerogrophy was more than I should've been. I like the dance we do, even though I'm really stupid and can't count. So, I'll have to work really hard to impress you! but don't worry, I'll get it down, as will everyone else. And we'll live up to Scott's Millerogrophy. Promise!

I'm really starting to get into the life of Eva Peron, her story I mean. I understand the background and who she became and what she did for her country. But I decided I loved Eva Peron a couple weeks ago. I don't care if she was a complete biotch, she seemed to be a pretty cool lady to me. Because she was so real. It's funny that you mentioned that at rehearsal the other day, Scott. I was thinking it too! I'm still trying to find a medium between being a working class Argentine and the middle class Aristocrats. I don't like being mean to Eva, Scott. Can't we be working class all the time! haha. We're really trying to be mean in "Peron's Latest Flame!"

All I have to remember is keep my eyes as wide as I possibly can. Which isn't very big.

I still love all the songs just as much as I did the first time we sang through them. Singing them, dancing to them. I love all the sounds of this musical. I'm really glad I didn't base my judgement of Evita off of that terrible movie with Madonna. What fool I would've been!

We're about to start full run-thru's soon. And costumes. And using real wooden chairs. And having the band play with us. I'm getting excited! The show is so close. And I can't tell you how anxious I am to perform. It's ridiculous how much I get out of being on stage with other performers. It's the sensation I live for.

I only have one thought to share before I log off. I watched Out on the Town last night with Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly and that hott tapper from Easter Parade. And my mind is completely boggled at how far away we've gotten from the classics. Movies are not made like that anymore. People are not talented like that anymore. And what for?! I'd much rather watch someone like Gene Kelly dance than watch Brad Pitt doing anything ordinary in a movie. And I'm much rather listen to Lena Horne sing rather than stupid Justin Beiber. And where are all the tap dancers on So You Think You Can Dance! All's I'm saying is, I think the entertainment industry has failed a bit in talent. I mean, c'mon. Where's the next Judy Garland? What happened to great classic films where people danced and fell in love singing to each other. It's a shame. That's my opinion. Do with it what you please. :]

Oh, yes. One more thing, in case my Dad is reading this. Happy Father's Day (on Sunday)! I love you! (That's me and him at the top there. :})

Well, Got Act One Down!

I'd just like to point out right now that I love this idea that, we the cast, are constantly a part of the story. I was a little confused by all the chair action, to be honest, Scott. But now I understand it! Of course, I didn't until you pointed it out to us the other day. But I really love the "movie theatre" theme. That when we're sitting in the chairs, not necessarily a part of the scene, we're still a part of the story! Because we're "watching" that scene on our movie screen. I hope the audience gets that. I think it's a really neat idea, and I'm really excited to see how the audience percieves it. Anyhoooooo...

Act I is completed, on to Act II. It is insane to me that we've done Act I in the matter of a week and a half. No. It's not insane. Actually, I love it! I wish all theatres moved this fast. It keeps me on my toes. Makes me really concentrate. And I don't have a chance to get bored or complacent. Long story short. I like the pace we're at.

Today we learned "Peron's Latest Flame," and it was really fun. Really difficult on the men's part, but really fun for the girls! Haha. I enjoy Robing's choreography. It's not too hard, which I love! because I'm not a dancer. But it's difficult enough that I have to pay really close attention. What am I talking about....I have to pay really close attention to everything. I'm just a little ADD. :}

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is on my television right now. A marathon. That is not in any kind of order. It's very confusing...

I'm interested to see what we do for Act II. I'm especially interested to see what happens in "Money Kept Rollin'." Oh, boy! I have a feeling we're going to be buzzing around like honey bees. That's a fast song. We can't possibly have little movement! That would just be too easy! And it'll be my real first treat of the reknowned "Millerogrophy." In all my excitement, I'm also nervous for it. Haha, but I'll blog ALL about it once it happens finally.

Did I mention that I love leaving work 45 mintues early to make it to rehearsal on time? :]
Except for that fact that no human being in Union all the way to Eureka comprehend a speed limit. Which makes me absolutely and unhealthily crazy. BUT. It's all forgotten once we start rehearsing.

Well, that's it for today, I guess. My departing words for this evening: TRUE BLOOD!!!!!!!! (season 3!!!!) right now. :]]]

So you think you can dance, dance, dance...dance.

It's been a couple weeks, sorry! I sort of forgot I was supposed to be logging my experiences. Too caught up enjoying them, I guess! :]
We've danced some and blocked some, and sang alot. And I'll tell ya, I'm really excited for how this show is going to turn out! The group numbers are really fun--lots of movement! And I can't believe how much I've retained dance wise. I am not a dancer. But I think I'm going to fool all of you with these mad dance skills I've gathered recently.
And I think last night, reviewing the dance all together for the first time since Sunday, we did pretty good! Either way, I'm excited. I seriously get so excited to go to rehearsal, and I can tell you that is a wonderful feeling. It's been a while, nice feeling. Hello again.
Scott, I don't really know what to tell people in my blog. I can't give away details or they'll know what to expect when they see the show! So, I suppose I'll just hand over all of my excitement to my blog viewers.
I can say I'm very intrigued to see how we pull off this show with chairs! And I really love Taylor's voice. Yes, I'm being openly creepy today. But really, I do. I really love everyone's voices. I really love being with all these new people and seeing their personalities behind the scenes. I've only ever known them from my audience seat. So, it's really interesting and exciting to be meeting the persons behind the characters now.
I laughed alot last night. Thank you, Zach and Eeyan and Dowdy. I do love that we can laugh and play, but get things done too. All in all, New Line, you have been a breath of fresh air that I've needed for a long, long time now. I'm so anxious to see what we do next!

Oh! New York was fun too, by the way. Not as thrilling as I had hoped it was going to be. But fun, nonetheless. I think I prefer the beach better. That's another thing I'm excited for, where my next trip will be! I'll take any ideas. I'd really like to visit Palau someday; they have jellyfish you can swim with! It's true. Look it up, I promise!

Stay tuned! I'll try to keep up with my blog for all of those who are reading it.
