Summer of shows

In case you haven't been following my theatrical adventures(AKA my social media posts) Evita has officially opened! The week leading up to opening has been hectic if not stressful. However at the end of the day it is worth the lack of sleep, sore feet and sweating through our costumes… at least that's how it is from my perspective.

The next gig I have is a personal favorite and it sucks that we’re doing it for one weekend. It’s Forbidden Broadway’s Greatest Hits. I wish I could say that I’m reprising the roles I played previously but alas, I’m only reprising three roles/songs. A new role/song that I’m excited about is the late Carol Channing (original star of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Hello Dolly!). If you’re not familiar with her work, then you might have seen the one episode of Family Guy where she beats Mike Tyson in a celebrity boxing fight, the same fight Brian loses the bet with Stewie. Sorry for getting off topic but what I’m trying to say is that she has a distinct voice, and I have been working on it.

Other than that I’m currently awaiting the results of video auditions I’ve submitted as well as what some of the theater’s upcoming seasons will be. once I know something I’ll definitely post it.
