*applauds Maisie* You go girl!

I am in the process of choosing my AMDA audition song and I have narrowed it down to 3 songs! I would love opinions from y'all!

- Heaven Help My Heart - CHESS
- In LA - FAME
- Unusual Way - NINE

withoutlove, I'd go with Unusual Way.

Yeah I am kinda in love with that song right now

Weez, I certainly hope you did end up rolling around on the ground! I also hope work isn't quite as painful for you in the upcoming days.

Schmerg, everything will work out! That sucks so much, though...it's amazing how inept some high school counselors (okay, most) are.

SAMN, congratulations! Keep us posted on how it goes! What show is this again (forgive my bad memory if you've told us).

Maisie, that's worth bragging about! People usually tend to start out college on a really good foot or a really bad foot...in my case, I HATED it here, and because I was so miserable and homesick, I did absolutely terribly in the beginning. I admire you!

Kels, go with "Unusual Way." I'm a little biased because Nine is one of my absolute favorite musicals, but it's SUCH a beautiful song. You can't go wrong with it. I sang that for a voice recital a few years ago...I had been working on "A Call from the Vatican" with my voice teacher, but the performance was held in a church so we had to make a last minute change. Ha! Although now you have inspired me to listen to Chess...whenever my best friend and I do karaoke, we look feverishly for "I Know Him So Well." Nobody ever has it, which is a shame...our drunken, overly dramatic, super corny rendition of that song would be brilliant. And by brilliant, I mean painfully bad.

Crap. I just FB friend requested someone and then realized it was totally the wrong person. Hate when that happens...Now some random dude thinks I want to be friends.

Danmag, I have three facebook friends with the same name. Sometimes, I post things to the wrong people. THAT'S confusing...

Ooh, Kels, "Unusual Way" is gorgeous. Michael Cerveris sang that song when he came to do ArtSpeak, and it was ridiculously beautiful... and I normally don't love his singing that much.

danmag, I did the same thing. I thought I was friend requesting this guy from high school, but I friend requested his son. They were both on his sister's friend list and I didn't know which was which.

Congrats Maisie on the grades!

JAG, I'm auditioning for Much Ado About Nothing. I'm going for Hero (though I'll take any part as long as I'm cast). I just went to the second days of auditions. I think I did really well. My only competition really is one of my good friends. We're very similar as far as type casting goes, so it will be interesting to see how this goes. Of course, I'll be excited for her if she gets the part. Better her than someone I dislike!

So I just saw a semi-weird production of Henry V last night. They cut whacking great chunks out of the play so as not to go on forever and ever and ever, but found time for a chunk of Henry IV part 2 at the beginning, then went onto Henry VI part 1 at the end (which was REALLY disconcerting, 'cos you had no idea when they were going to stop!).

On the one hand, they cut out several of my most favourite parts, they killed Michael Williams (which is NOT cool), and one of the girls looked uncannily like Hayden Panettiere, a similarity that was only emphasised by the fact she looked incredibly pissed off whenever she was onstage but not Acting.

But on the other hand, they also cut that interminable English lesson, they managed to get Terry King to do the fight choreography, and Westmoreland looked uncannily like Dean Thomas from the Harry Potter movies which, I discovered at the interval, was because he *is* Dean Thomas from the Harry Potter movies.

I think I enjoyed it, but I'll stick with my fond fond fond fond FOND memories of the RSC production.

Congrats Maisie, break a leg SAMN, and I'd vote 'Unusual Way' as well Kelsey, if it hadn't already been voted in. XD

Weez, that was a hilarious yet confusing description!

[Weez]

Posted: 9/3/09 at 8:44am

Haha, I'm reading it back to myself, and it is pretty confusing. XD

I also got my best "dumb overheard comment from fellow audience member" yet: "What comes after Henry V? Is it... is it a Richard or something...?". But as it's only hilarious if you're fully aware of either late medieval monarchical history or Shakespeare's Histories, I thought I'd save the "Hilarious comments overheard" thread.

(Henry VI is what comes next. In fairness, it's SUCH an obvious answer that no wonder it wouldn't occur to people. :3)

I love the idea of Dean Thomas doing Shakespeare! That guy is strangely cute.

Leavin' in a couple of hours to visit Franklin & Marshall College with my best friend... it's not really one I'm that interested in, but it's her top choice, so I'm giving it a chance. I'll be gone till late tomorrow.

Soooo, I'm really aggravated with my friend Scott. This kid decided to invite me to the Kennedy Center "sometime this weekend" a few days ago and told me to tell him what days are good for me. I sent him a message, and waited for him to get back to me. It's been several days, and he hasn't been online at all. He has my phone number, but I don't know his. I'm leaving in an hour or two, and won't be back 'till Friday night, so I need to know which day/time he wants to go, so I can figure out which day I'm visiting my terminally ill aunt this weekend and whether I need to change my shift at the insect zoo.

Where the heck is Franklin and Marshall?

And I hope you work out the thing with the Kennedy Center!

F&M's up in Pennsylvania, in Amish Country... and no one's ever heard of it, 'cos it's tiny.

So, the love of my life when I was a freshman in college is coming to my house in about 45 minutes! He is in Philly visiting from Chicago - this is gonna be good....I think I'll start drinking now.

[justagirl2]

Posted: 9/3/09 at 1:43pm

Uh oh! Is he still cute?

When was the last time you saw him? Can't wait to hear about this!

[danmag]

Posted: 9/3/09 at 2:03pm

He is a cute multi-millionaire! I saw him 3 years ago at our Denison 20th reunion. Which was one crazy weekend...I'll be back later to tell you what happens. Which of course will be nothing....

[xxnewgirlxx]

Posted: 9/3/09 at 3:31pm

Chicago, you say? Is he single? :P

Hey ladies!

Stockard,

I can't PM you for some reason, but I need to talk to you about this weekend and give you the jerseys.
I'm off to class until later tonight, but can you PM me?

(I can respond once you send me one, just can't initiate the exchange - gotta love BWW!)

*kisses*

Posted: 9/3/09 at 5:08pm

Taz, I just PM'ed you with my cell #!

Posted: 9/3/09 at 5:49pm

Danmag, can't wait for the details!

[danmag]

Posted: 9/3/09 at 5:58pm

I've been drinking too much. I will post nothing that will incriminate me. JUST KIDDING! It was a lovely visit and we had a lovely time.

Posted: 9/3/09 at 6:12pm

Were there still some smoldering sparks?

How does he look after all this time?

Will you stay in contact?

[xxnewgirlxx]

Posted: 9/3/09 at 6:18pm

Is he dreeeeeeeeeamy?
