Good Evening!
Hmm...
So when are the dates of the Fall HHW Gathering in NYC this year? Judging by DR Cillaliz's purchase of a ticket to see
The Drowsy Chaperone on October 5, I'm guessing the first week of October -
Hmm...
Well... Beginning August 8 - well, August 9 for me - I will be starting rehearsals for
Cabaret back down in DC at Arena Stage. The show opens September 8, and closes October 29.
The one cool thing about this contract/show is that part of the band will be on stage, and the conductor position is a piano/conductor position. So, I'll be playing the rehearsals, but once the show opens, I'll basically be on-call to conduct/play for the duration for the run since there's no keyboard/synth in the pit. Best of all, I'll still be getting paid and housed!
I will most likely conduct/play one or two of the previews, and then we'll see if there's any sort of regular schedule once the run proper begins. *And since we're doing the Joel Grey revival version of the show, the onstage band will be comprised of Kit Kat Girls. In other words, I'll be in drag. YIKES!
