Ok this is a couple weeks old post, I'm sorry again for not being as fervent to post as much as I need to, I AM going to change, especially cause alot of exciting things are going to be happening soon.
(couple weeks old post)
Yesterday I experienced something that was totally new, and incredibly awesome, and I owe it all to my housemates! I was preparing to trek up to the nyc and they told me about this new bus system called bolt bus and apparently how cheap they are. So I figured I'd give it a try. Well it ended up being cheaper then China town! which is usually the cheapest way to get there 20 bucks. Well this was 16.50 and would have been cheaper if i'd done it earlier, and then it turned out to be nicer than Greyhound!! How awesome!, The first bus I went in had all leather seats, and both buses (to and fro), had a power socket off the back of every seat, and Internet access. It was just way cool.
Anyway, so I trekked up there for some Broadway stuff. The 2 shows were WICKED, in the morning, and an old show they're bringing back to Broadway called, PAL JOEY, in the afternoon. Now it was really kind of eery cause as I was approaching the studio I didn't hear any noise, and there was no one in the halls, I wondered if I was in the wrong place or maybe at the wrong
audition. I looked in the room, and saw all these equity men, and my friend General, phew someone I knew. Well turns out people were just showing up late, and my feelings of questioning should I be there were quickly diminished when I saw all my audition buddies! I didn't realize how intense these auditions are in making us come together, and support each other, and how much I could miss people, that I barely knew. It's so funny cause I remember the days when I was so uncomfortable and scared and intimidated cause I didn't know anyone.
Now WICKED is an audition that every one has gone to at one time or another, and so knows the combination that they teach cause it never changes, and it's so weird. And so does not look good on my body, you just come to those realizations that there are really some shows you are never going to be in. Oh well.
Oh by the way,
Some updates on EVITA. No I haven't found out why I was fired, but get this little bit of info I got from Andrew who I've been surprisingly seeing at auditions. Well after I was terminated Hank quit, then Samantha, then Andrew( hence the surprise sitings), Then Cameron, real big shocker cause she played Evita! Then Stephanie quit who was playing the mistress. Also there's been a couple of musicians who've quit the tour as well. Sunday I received a call from the Company Manager Brad, telling me that he was sitting in an airport cause he just got fired!, he called cause he thought I would think it was funny, which of course I didn't, cause I am not in the bizness of other peoples misfortune. All that to say, looks like God got me out at the right time, and the best way out of all.
So on to the next audition, I end up walking Andrew to meet Sam for lunch, fun little Evita dancer reunion. Again as I said before when they have new Broadway shows, every body and there mother comes out for it, people you just ain't never seen before, or haven't see in a while, now these people are mostly veterans to the Broadway stage, not old fogies( well not all) but just cats who have been in other shows there already, like my friend Joe Abraham who was in
HAIRSPRAY!
