No - I didn't wake up this morning dreading a two show day. I woke up this morning VERY EXCITED TO PERFORM IN TWO SHOWS!
If you want to talk about what a horrible actor Kenneth Branagh is - you should probably do it while I'm not in the room.
The same goes for Andrew Lloyd Webber's composing. And then - don't tell me I'm lying when I said I worked with him on WIW. I'm not going to defend myself - it's pointless - you'll believe what you want to believe.
If you don't know who Rovert is - you really need to do your research.
There is no Lady Jane in Richard III.
It is stupid to mark understudy rehearsals. We are lucky to have them. Don't half ass it.
I'm not thrilled we are done with understudy rehearsals for the rest of the run. If I'm thrown on Jan. 29th - I would like to have had a rehearsal in the past 3 months.
On Broadway - understudies do NOT rehearse with costumes and props. Trust me. I ran the rehearsals. And - no WIW was not an anomaly. My best friend it on her 4th Bway show - understudying every time - and never even got to practice with the "baby bump" she had to wear in HAIR- must less costumes and props and the FULL CAST there - only understudies.
There is more to life than being angry your friend/acquaintance just booked a Broadway show while you are "stuck" in Westchester. If you are going to be like that - you're in for a VERY VERY VERY long ride. You are working on a contract that runs longer than most Broadway shows. Be happy for yourself. Be happy for your friend. Work hard.
You can get hired without an agent. So if you have an agent who calls you fat, ugly, untalented, pompous, etc... you should get rid of that agent instead of giving them your paycheck.
I really want to punch all of your as you sift through bridal magazines. Yes I know you are all (ALLLL - I mean - EVERY PERSON BUT ME IN THE CAST) in LOOOOOOOOOVE, engaged, or married, but I really want to barf - and shoot myself - or cry - as we plan weddings, reception, and look for baby cradles, and plan our yet to exist babies third birthday parties. I know I am old and bitter because no prince - or even close to a prince has come to whisk me off my feet - or even walk next to me - forget the whisking - but twelve hours a day of wedding planning and knitting baby blankets is SOOO INANE!
Please learn to spell. Though it does make it easier for me to win when playing bananagrams!:)
Don't be mean to the crew.
Learn the crew's names.
Say hi to the band/orchestra. They are cool people.
Other soprano lady - I do not know what is eating you - but you can really stop doing everything in your power to make me feel like shit. And really - when I walk into the green room to heat up my frozen meal dinner - you don't have to tell me all of my qualities that you don't think are good qualities to have. Who does that?
It's always a bad idea to tell the stage manager they don't know what they are doing...
You all wonder why you are so tired - well - if you TURNED THE LIGHTS ON in the dressing room - the LIGHT might help you stay awake...just saying...
Dogs just are better than cats. I'm sorry. I'm right. You're wrong here. And if you wave a kitty in front of my face - you will not get my oooohhhhing ahhhhhing and roo-ing - no matter how hard you try. Same goes with babies.
It's realllllly weird to walk into someone's dressing room just to sniff their nutella...then steal a handful of crackers and leave. It's just odd!
It's also odd to moon people right before they walk on the stage.
I am soooo happy to have a job - a great fun EQUITY performing job - but I realllllly miss my friends...it's nice to feel loved...and definitely excited to see SATYAGRAHA with my AMORE friends on TUESDAY! It will be a very very happy day!:)
