DR JOSE your new proposed gig sounds interesting as long as it doesn't interfere with any opportunity that may come up on the great white way.
Thank You, DR JRand. Alas, with the way the current season seems to be shaping up - with both currently running and soon-to-be-opening shows - my work prospects for the "Great White Way" are looking, well, "not so good". It's a very strange work climate here in NYC right now for everyone in "The Biz". The "trickle down" is hitting us now. Even the standard audition cycle has changed. Companies are casting their shows - with usually smaller casts - either much earlier than normal, or closer to the first day of rehearsal. I still get one or two calls each week from some of my fellow pianists asking if I have any "extra" work to pass on to them. Well... If they're not working, then I'm not working. So...
I've actually been thinking of getting back into "Classical Mode" again lately - not exclusively, but alongside my theatrical work. Music is music, to me at least. And, practically speaking, any income at this point and/in time, is, well, income. And, to be totally honest and forthcoming, the possibility of moving back to Richmond or DC for a few months just to get things back on track (in many ways) is more than a possibility.
