Hello, all...
Just a quick note to say hello and let everyone know that I'm alive. I've been EXTREMELY busy the last few days, so I've not had much time to post (or do anything else, for that matter).
Jose: I'm so sorry to hear about your car. I hope everything works out for you.
MusicGuy: Welcome back. I miss you.
Good news for me: I got my 1099 from MTI today and it would seem that I made about $5000 less than I thought I had, so that means I don't have to pay so much in taxes. Thank God for small miracles.
The folks at MTI had a special treat on Tuesday night--we were all treated to dinner at John's Pizzeria (my favorite pizza in the City) and tickets to FIDDLER ON THE ROOF starring Mr. Alfred Molina and Ms. Randy Graff. I won't give my opinions of the show yet, since they still have a month of previews, but I will say that they're in pretty decent shape. I still think the show is too long, but I've always felt that way.
And now for the news I alluded to last week. As I mentioned, I had an audition last week for the leading role in a National Tour, but I was unable to tell what show and what role. Well, I got an email from my friend who is in the show, and she mentioned that their new cast member arrived, so I suppose I'm free to share the info now. The role was Horton the Elephant in the Nat'l Tour of SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL. I was told I was too small to play it, so I was cut from the audition. You know all that part...so there you have it. I could have been a cute little elephant. At least I've finally discovered this score--I really have become attached to it and I hope to get to do it someday soon.
Any other news? Nope...can't think of anything. Now I think I should get to bed, since I can barely sit up straight right now. Goodnight, all...
