The Ambassador














So, in a week and a half, we have put the whole show together! That's right folks, in less then 2 weeks we had the whole show done, and so we've have just taken these last couple days to piece it together, and run thru a full show. Man talk about using every minute of your time. The director Larry Fuller said, it took them 4 weeks to put it up on Broadway. And We have now gotten a couple compliments from the music director about how this is the best ensemble she's had for this show, which is pretty awesome to hear.







So now that we are in running the show mode, different things happen. We are now far enough in our process to put in our understudies for our principles. Which is really an awesome place so far to be in. Also we have mad cleaning rehearsals where we just pick the dances apart piece by piece and make sure every arm is turned out, and even every body angle the same. We also work on our character and acting choices thru out the whole dance, and the motivation, or better yet, language in each movement. And will have certain people come watch it. Like today we had 2 older men who were cast members from the original productions watch and give us great compliments .

The most exciting thing is that we leave for our Tech rehearsals on Thursday of next week! Our Techs are in Chattanooga TN. And we stay at the historical Chattanooga choochoo hotel, hahahaha. We are all very excited about this, for so many of us are already living out of one bag, and crashing on the floor, or couches in friends living rooms, and we're just dying for a real bed. That said, I'd like to introduce you to my roommate on Tour, his name is Trip! He is very fun, and keeps us laughing and smiling. He is one of the dancers too.
I have to have someone to represent me on tour, primarily in all the pictures, and kind of of mascot. You know like the garden gnome that is the spokesperson for travelosity. So meet Tigore, (actually it's just eeyore dressed up as his best friend tigger). Now this is a great representation of me, cause I am very excited, and playful like tigger, but very deep and pensive like EEyore. So I will have Eeyore take a picture in each city we go too.
