Update from Stephanie J. Block 4/13

"Ok...being sick... NOT FUN, right? But on the Opening week of your Broadway Show...you got to be kidding me?!@#

After a week of fighting "the sick" and then eventually losing to it, I managed to make a comeback earlier this week. I want to make a sincere apology to those who came to the show when I was absent. Trust me, that was not how I envisioned last week to play out. No one works a year and a half on a project and decides to miss what they've worked so hard to finally achieve.

I have to thank Sebastian (who I got sick...sorry, honey), my family, my friends and agents who helped me breathe and heal and gave me the confidence to go on Opening Night when I truly did not know how I was going to manage 2 1/2 hours onstage. THANK GOD I DID!!!! The experience was one I will never forget and cannot adequately express in words. What a high! That "high" also got me through Friday... but, unfortunately, there was no way to kill this "thing" except to get back on meds, rest and look forward to starting again on Tuesday.

Those who supported me with their prayers, cards, flowers, it was so empowering to receive your love and strength. You all continue to amaze me and I will forever be grateful TO you and FOR you!

Much joy,
Stephanie J."

Stephanie is great! When I saw her in "Wicked" in St. Louis she went on ill because some friends of her's had flown in expressly to see her. Even though she was sick and it was very cold, she still signed autographs at the stage door after the show! A real trouper!

She's such a strong woman. I really admire her.

And gotta love the "I have to thank Sebastian (who I got sick...sorry, honey)." Adorable much???

Glad she's better! Saw her last Wednesday, she was great.....

Actually, yes. She does have a website of her own. But then you knew that already because the last time I posted about it being relaunched and updated you wrote:

"Oh, yay, another website that is all Flash and takes sh*tload of time to download.

Three minutes so far and nothing to show for it.

There are still those of us with dial-up out here.

Yeah, just ignore us."

Seems you were really frustrated about not being able to see the changes. So are you still bitter about your dial up and it not loading up quick enough for you? Cause if so, you should be happy I posted the message for you. Either way, no need to personally attack me.

I'm just curious...I don't click on the titles of threads that aren't of interest to me...why do other people?

That's what we're here for, sister Steve. To share our thoughts. Thank you for sharing yours.

sorry musicalsFan..we have no sympathy for those too cheap to give up their dial-up [which now usually costs MORE in most places] for DSL or other high speed connection

---

musicalsFan, as other people have already posted, why do you find it necessary to post on a thread you're not interested in. I bypass threads all the time that I don't want to read. And honestly, I'm sure there are lots of people who aren't necessarily Stephanie J. Block fans who don't go to her website but who are interested to read this anyway. Popular isn't hurting anyone by posting.

^^^Ditto.

Oh calm down. I was wild about Tina Maddigan and Tina Maddigan was wild about me!

I saw the show last night, and she did a fantastic job!

Go Steph! And I agree, if you aren't interested in the subject, don't click on it....... And then complain about it after you clicked on something you aren't interested in? Gimme a break....
