So yeah, Lion King. I went on Saturday with Kelsey and we sat in the orchestra section, which was sooo awesome!!! The elephant walked right by us!! And it was just...really cool. The whole show is such a spectacle and the music....ahhh, the music is so beautiful. The Circle of Life makes me want to cry every time I see the show because ( Read more... )

Ok, so yeah, I decided last night that my new dream is to be in a musical with Hugh Jackman. He's only 20 years older than me! I really think I want to do Beauty and the Beast with him...he played Gaston in the Australian production a few years back. I would kill to have seen it. He's cool...he's an actor, but he can sing...and dance!! What ( Read more... )

Well, I finally heard back from the director for Urinetown and he said...

Sonja,

Thanks for sharing your talent and time with us! We have completed casting for URINETOWN.

Sincerely,
Kirk Mouser

So, there you go.

17. Finally.

I broke my plate, if you know what I mean.

Cause I need you, and I miss you...and now I wonder, if I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass us by? Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you tonight.

But it's more than a thousand...it's two thousand and sixty three and a half, by freeway.

Erm, the callbacks weren't so great. And I'm sure I didn't get a part. Because they had me read for Hope, which is the main female character and, um, I'm 16! Gr.

I auditioned today for Stumptown Stages production of "Urinetown" (now dubbed appropriately by my uncle as "U-Town"--much easier to say repeatedly). It went quite well...the studio it was in had really fabulous acoustics. The accompanist was really nice and followed all my instruction relatively well, for my never having sung with him before ( Read more... )

Last night's show was super unique. Ah, the joys and stresses of live theater. So, during the Sabbath Prayer scene, apparently a elderly man threw up and his wife fainted. I guess they had eaten a shrimp-mushroom dish that made them sick...or as far as we know. Of course, we ignorant chorus members didn't really know anything was going on, ( Read more... )

The audience last night was the best!! Ok, they were clapping along to the music during scene changes. It was awesome! They screamed so much and laughed at every joke. Seriously, the audiences this week have been incredible...and it's not even the weekend yet! Oh, yeah, and we sold all our tickets yesterday and then Mrs. Willey had to set up ( Read more... )
