Well, it took me a while to get them and then to get around to converting them to 72 dpi, but here are a few pics from Sleeping Beauty Wakes for those of you who expressed an interest.

(As usual, I apologize for posting them one at a time.)

What an incredible set!

Thanks, guys! The "bedspread" was supposed to represent the brambles growing over her. It emerged from behind the dais, and we spread it out before falling asleep.

This photo is of the song, "It's A Girl!"

The show was all done in both English and ASL, hence the "strange" hand gestures, etc.

"Uninvited"

I voiced (speaking and singing) for the Bad Fairy/Clinic Director in addition to playing my own role (speaking, singing and signing) of the Night Terror Patient and Royal Servant.

I posted this before (I got it off a review on the web), but I like it, so here it is again.

This is "Trouble."

"Wheel Goes 'Round" (I'm up on the balcony, singing just out of frame. Hehehe)

Great photos!

What are you signing in the pic with Deanne Bray and Kevin Earley, Erika? (Looks like "coffee.")

[erikaamato]

The "family photo." (Entire cast and crew.)

Lizzie: Funny you should ask! I was looking at it earlier myself, trying to figure it out! It's actually the beginning of me signing "safe." The lyric was "I'll never get away," and the sign was basically "Can't be safe." The angle of the photo makes it hard to see that my wrists are actually crossed (and I'm about to spread them apart).

Isn't this the Groovelily show? I LOVE them! The pics look awesome!

It is. Don't you see them in the "It's A Girl" photo? They're at the top. Well, Brendan and Val are, with the wonderful Shannon Ford filling in as their drummer (and actor!) in the show. Actually, the three of them are at the top of the family photo, as well. I guess they like it up there. hehehe

And thanks!

Pretty pitchers!

Caroline: I think B & V are planning to record the songs and release them as a GrooveLily album at some point, but no cast recording is in the works as of now.

Namo: Thankee!

ooh - can't wait for a recording! They were in NY recently and I wanted to go, but sadly, twas not to be.

Well, they'll be in Chatham, NJ (one town over from where I grew up) in September, if you feel like taking the train. It's a short ride, actually. :-P

*stamps feet and gets huffy*

I want the songs recorded with the cast, and especially Erika - her voice was gorgeous during the show. She has a couple of amazing numbers that I would love to hear her sing again and again.

*leaves in a huff*

Thanks, Johnny!

YWIW: Awwwwwwww... You're so sweet! Well, who knows? If the show moves forward and if I get to be a part of it, maybe I'll get to record something. (That's a heck of a lot of if's, though!) :-P
