SO we have opened 7BRIDES!!! YEAH!!!
We were actually scared if we could pull it off in time cause learning this big show in one week was real daunting at first, during rehearsals there never seem to be a point where we could get every aspect together. Out tech rehearsal even went well into our dress rehearsal, oh this past weekend was so long, at the theatre past midnight. And then one of the worst things that could happen did. Melissa
one of our beautiful dancing brides had to get rushed to the orthopedist. She already has had surgery on her ankle and foot, and during SWING had rolled over it the wrong way again, and this would now be the second time she has twisted it in rehearsal for 7BRIDES. We knew at this point it wasn't good.

This all happened during our dress rehearsal the night before we opened! So we all went home no knowing how she was and what was going to happen. But everyone was talking about who they could even possbliy replace her with since no one has an understudy, and there are no swings.
It was kind of like the situation in SWING when I had to step in for Richard in the bungee number. He hurt his shoulder and they didn't want to take the chance, so since I had been there learning it just in case,( which we call swinging something) I was in. So we get the call to come in hr earlier cause we have a new girl that we have to put in the show, Ha theres nothing like live theatre! Turns out they got Lauren back!! Lauren who we call Lulu was the only one in our swing ensemble to not be in 7BRIDES, so we were all real excited that she's back shes a great dancer, infact she just had to choose between the tour of the RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS 
SPECTACULAR, and the tour of MOVING OUT. They called her late monday night, and she got in her jeep at midnight drove 200 miles and was here by 630am for a 9am put in rehearsal, talk about a shining Knight, and her Jeeps white too HA!

God uses his muses to always make sure of that.
Anyway, we've had standing ovations both nights Lulu is fitting right in and looks great! Only 4 more shows to go!!
