Hi, guys! I'm new here, and I've been lurking a bit, checking out people's posts, and I was curious as to how many of you guys are actors?
Anyway, I really just wanted to say hi, and find out a little about you guys.
P.S. I'm currently playing the Evil Queen and the Hag in the Snow White show at Dinseyland, so if any of you are out here, let me know, and I'll put you on the VIP seating list. (No waiting in line!)

Welcome!
I'm an actor (not equity, but SAG), and I would like to move out to either LA or NYC for college/ or after college! You did a show with Eden? LUCKY! I met her after a show of Wicked and she was so nice, I was pleased to find out that shes great on stage and in person. Well, Good luck with your work at disneyland! You look like a great evil queen in costume. And once again, welcome to the boards :)

I am just an actor......a jobless, non-equity actor, but an actor none-the-less
. You look devilishly awesome in your queen costume. Whenever I get to LA (if that will ever happen) I will give you a ring because I need all the help I can get. LOL. WOW. If that is you on the cd's at that website you gave, then you totally rock my socks. Welcome to the boards.

If you're still in the show (you may have moved on), I'll be seeing it June 2005. Quite a few months to go, but I'll be there.
SNOW WHITE replaced ALADDIN, didn't it?

Posted: 9/12/04 at 5:01pmWelcome Erika! I enjoyed checking out Velvet Chain's web site...I'm also pretty fond of the bass line. Bass guitar is one of my instruments and probably one of my favorites to play. I'm going to be in SoCal several times in the next few weeks and will definately try to catch the Snow White show at the park. Again..welcome to BWW!!

Posted: 9/12/04 at 5:05pmYep. Young hopeful actor in the DC area. Going to college in NYC though, so that should help.
#13re: Other actors on the board?
Posted: 9/12/04 at 5:43pmI am a actress in the NYC area. Non Equity right now but working in two equity approved productions...oy

I'm an actress but I've put it aside for the time being because of college and my upcoming wedding.
And erika, if you're who I'm thinking about, you're amazing! I see the show all the time!

Hi Erika - I'm not an actor or a singer - I just admire people who can do what I can't. Haven't had a chance to see "Snow White" at Disneyland, but Justin Robertson (who's Happy, I believe) is such a talent and very great - I've been meaning to see the show because of him.

I had a role on my campus soap opera for two years.
I was incredible.

Posted: 9/12/04 at 10:32pmHi! First of all you look spectacular in your evil queen costume. I am an aspiring actress, living in the Detroit area, and going to college. I'm hoping to move to NYC when I get out.

Wow! I go to work, (D-land), and when I come back, I have all these great replies! =)

spiderdj82: Yep, that's me. Thank you!
Eponine: *Blush* Thanks; I'm glad you liked the photos!
sheb28: Good luck!
brunettebabe: Congrats!
Robert aka che2be: Thanks! Are you doing A Little Night Music at Riverside right now? And let me know if you're coming to D-land. =)
GuidoContini: Hi, there! (I've played Luisa twice now. Still too young for it!)
zepka102: Thanks so much for the welcome!
CapnHook: I may be...who knows? I'm leaving the show for a few months while I do Paint Your Wagon at the Geffen Playhouse in West LA, but if I don't book anything major after that I plan on returning to Snow White. It's a great gig. And nope, Aladdin's still running. It's over at the Hyperion theater in Disney's California Adventure park. We're at the Fantasyland theater in Disneyland proper. =)
ponine24601: LOL
Cyndy: Cool! My husband's the bass player. (I'm the singer.) Let me know if you're ever coming to Snow White
TheAudrey3: Good luck!
newyorkuniq: How are they going so far?
BoxOfficeJon: Sure! Performers of all kinds count.
notsovirginmary Well, cool! hehehe You know if have a "new" album out. (Our 5th.) It's called Asteroid Belt, and it came out this past December. Check it out!
ProducerJeff: No...you rock!
Galindafied: Congrats, and best wishes, and I hope I'm who you're thinking of!
Sheri: Cool. I just worked with Justin today. He's playing many of the dwarves now, actually. Talented guy!

NativeNewYorker: LOL
marincrazy11: Thanks so much and best of luck with everything.
zepka102: Why, yes. Yes, I do.
(And I edited this post to add the photo of me in my Hag get-up for ya!)
BwayTheatre11: Actually, yes. My agent has gotten me a few auditions for Broadway (when they have casting sessions out here, that is), and if I end up booking something, of course I'd go. I love it here in LA, though. My band's out here, and I also pursue work in TV and film (which is why I moved to LA in the first place, actually), so I don't really have any plans to move to NY unless I book something.
