I began to think last night it might be a cold, but it's just classic allergy symptoms. I'm relaxing and resting. I've finished all the entrance and exit diagrams and we had our rehearsal.
Funny: Lisa Livesay is singing the funny Alan Menken song Pink Fish. I think she's the only female to ever attempt it because there's a lyric in the second verse that makes no sense for a female, but she just sings it anyway. Here's the lyric
I went to my first audition
For Fiddler on the Roof
When I saw the other actors there
I though I had made a goof
No beanie, no beard,
Guess I must've looked kind of weird
But when I heard it was a religious show
I was mighty cheered
I told her it sounded odd to me and took me out of the song. She said, "Well, what can we do?" I wrote her a replacement lyric on the spot. Same first four lines through "goof" and then:
No shmata, no shawl
I guess I didn't "get" it at all
But when I heard it was a religious show
I knew I'd have a ball
Problem solved
