SWING is officially over now, well it has been for a week now sorry. The shows were for the most part great! In fact they were all pretty good accept thursdays show. For some reason the audience on that thursday was horrible. they gave us no energy, no feedback, no nothin, and in a adrenaline show like SWING, you need the high energy from the audience to bounce back on you to hype you up, so that night seemed to drag on, which made people tired, and make mistakes, and just effect everyones mood. Of course that had to be the night when some of the guys from our 7BROTHERS cast would come to see us. But ever other show was great!

But that's all over now, and 7BRIDES has started rehearsal, in fact we go into tech tonight! Geesh, things here run so fast! This is what is considered summer stock theatre. Where you are rehearsing one show during the day, and performing another at night. It's how almost every musical theatre college student, and up in coming professional builds there resume, cause you get a couple of shows in a little bit of time. For instance what would usually be a 1 show contract of 5 weeks, is 2 shows down here, and, if I was in the next show, it would've been 2 shows and a full week of rehearsal for the next show! So needless to say this is the fastest I have ever put a show together. But it's been very good cause I have had to continue to train my mind to be professional, and learn quickly. But this has also been the most professional contract I have done, even over the tour of EVITA. I have never worked with so many talented working people before. I'm surrounded by TV stars, people who have been on BROADWAY in, LES MIZ, KISS ME KATE, MOVING OUT, TOMMY, WICKED, and others who have been working consistently or who have been concert dancing professionally with Mia Michaels, and with Desmond Richardson in Complexions. It has truly been a great experience here. All that said, I am tired of Oklahoma, and I'm ready to go home. Especially now since I have a new home!

Anyway, the 7BRIDES cast is pretty cool, of course most of us have all been here this summer, but they brought in 8 more guys of course. SO this is an incredibly huge cast. We have the 7 suitors,( which I'm one of, they're the original boyfriends of the brides), the 7brides, the 7brothers( who the girls end up marrying), a gaggle of annoying kids which consist of 2 boys and about 7 girls, 4 parents, 1 preacher, and a baby(but it's just a doll).

To try and round us all together, we had another theme day!!! This one you could day was for the boys cause we decided to go Camo! We had a good time, and lots of people joined in.

This weekend will be once again filled with 12hr tech rehearsals, accept for sunday which is so nice around here. Then we open on Tuesday! and then I come home next sunday Woohooo!!
