Don't Miss It!

I won't be able to see the tour. Wrong coast. I saw the revival on Broadway though.

Anyways, about the whole meeting celebities thing, its propbably how we build up these images of people in our mind and in some ways we don't think of them in the most realalistic terms. I was pretty good when I met Tonya Pinkins after I sa Caroline or Change, and probably a funny site while I met Stephen Schwartz, but that probably adds up to the mood I was in, and the surrounding circumstances. I would like to think I'd be more composed now, when talking to someone.

I was listening to the OBCR of Rent, and it was the first time listening since Anthony and Fredi came to the board, and I was able to have a slightly different outlook on it.

OBC = Original Broadway Cast
OBCR = Original Broadway Cast Recording.

Who? Who would p-p-p-possibly get made over a l-l-little mix-up like that?

---

touchy? here? NEVER.

GO TO SLEEP TIFF

---

Defy normal! Death to it! Perish the thought!

---

Normal is overrated and for people not like us.

---

eh, get over it. hehe.

Hola all --

It's very late and my brain is a wee bit fried after a long long day (so fried that there was more than one moment onstage in Little Shop where I felt like I was going to forget the next lyric coming out of my mouth) but I wanted to just post a little word about today before hitting the sack.

We did a little presentation of our work thus far to the producers, who seemed overall very pleased. It's wild the amount of powerful sound that can come out of a group of five singers.

I got to rehearse more fully the tango steps that Tracie and I are learning (which will be more traditionally Argentine than the ones from the stage version), which was helpful because it's *tough*. And I got to enjoy watching Tracie kick ass in Take Me or Leave Me (although without Idina, which was strange) and Rosario tear it up in Out Tonight.

And you should *hear* the way that Adam's and Rosario's voices blend in I Should Tell You. Amazing already, and it will only get better.

Can I just say for the record that I will *never* grow tired of singing or listening to any of these songs?

I really wish Idina and Jesse and Taye were already out here with us. But we won't all be together until after the new year. Ah well...

I guess that's it for now.

Take care --

Anthony

That is so great to know Anthony. I personally can't wait till it comes out and hear this great sound you speak of. Goodnight though and sleep well. And don't work yourself to hard.

And Lael, it's california baby. What do you expect. J/K (is californian...)

(and you're not the only one who never gets tired of those songs, believe me! Although I think you have a bit more chance to get tired of them...)

Totally agrees with this. I can't seem to get tired of those songs. No matter how often I listen to them.

---

Good idea. (sorry, last threadjack). But sleep is for the weak. I'll get plenty of sleep when I'm dead. ^_^

It's so much fun to hear about these rehearsals. Thanks again!
