Today we mark the anniversary of a loss...
Alysse Nicholson lost her battle with brain cancer one year ago today. She was only a freshmen at my school, and I only knew her through her sister- a former theatre mate of mine. I, personally, never knew her closely in high school, rather knowing her and her sister in middle school in our productions then. She was a beautiful girl. Fiery until the end and beautiful in her wake, she was...
Oh hello
So to catch you up. I didn’t get the lead role as I was hoping. I’m a featured vocalist which is good I guess but I can’t help but be slightly disappointed or whatever.
TONIGHT I got to be a techy- I learned how to do the spotlight. It was so cool haha. Now mind you I’m not even that great at it but it was my first time so give me some credit haha. It was great and I LOVED...
Callbacks

It’s bittersweet because I know that it could get my hopes up but it felt so good. Oh wow being Rosemary was right and perfect and she is me and I am her. Me and Ajay singing together was ridonkulous. He’s got this powerful set of lungs I was trying to compete with in our duet… yeah right haha!
I want this so badly that it makes my chest feel all jittery and jumpy.

Today I did my last high school audition.
Oh ‘twas bitter sweet: the nerves, the anxiety, the shakes the squeaks. It is all part of the process of getting to show off the talent I believe I have. I’m not gonna lie I loved this way of auditioning. Here’s a visual:
A single spotlight in the center of the stage, and considering the walls are black and the back of the curtains are black, the floor looks like it may...

Musical Auditions: Day 1
It was a dance audition today. We danced to Coffee Break in How to Succeed and it was frickin amazing. I didn’t fail too badly either! For the last three years of auditions, you have no idea the terrible dancing that I have done. I am not a dancer but this audition gave me some sort of confidence.
So how about you guys? Audition advice for the upcoming monologue and vocal auditions?...

Man I love being in Theatre
Especially the loving program we have.
So it’s my senior year and I’m finally being recognized to do some work… At the worst time ever. I just got a bunch of English homework dumped on me and I’m trying to not drown in Chemistry. Eh shrug.
For our musical auditions I will be in charge of one group and my co-director for the senior production will be running another...

Monologues & Vocal Auditions for H2$
Today we received our female monologues for How to Succeed in Business and ummm… I’d say they’re interesting none the less. It is a story about a woman who is explaining to a friend/or daughter that her ferret ran away and that although it appears that she killed the ferret- she didn’t. I’m not sure if she’s being serious or if she really did murder the ferret...

I've been gone but...
Hello musical theatre kids, I am back to run this gorgeous and amazing blog! Here’s a brief story about where I went and where I’m going:
Well here in my school district we only do musicals in the spring, so since I didn’t get very much activity after i was done, I sort of just let this go until I came back and now here I am. Right now, I am preparing for my school auditions for...

Thoroughly Modern Millie
chibixbabe:
I’m glad opening night is finally over and I’m glad that it went well. Only a few disasters, lol jk I think there was one or two. Including the fact that I’m congested like nobodies business. Seriously I’m unable to breath, talk, sing, hear properly. I keep thinking that it’ll go away if I will it too… but it’s just sitting in my chest killing me. I’ve never been this congested...
got the call that I'm cast in USF
sporkthepanda:
very excited for the summer. it was hard to hear the director with the shitty reception but I’m pretty sure I’m Lucentio in Taming of the Shrew and as for Cymbeline, the cast is TBD.
because of the clusterfuck that is Cymbeline, he is going to wait until later in the summer to have the roles cast, and everyone (except for Imogen) is going to be double and triple cast anyways...
The damn west side cast list won't be posted for a...
newyork-thespian:
And when the list is posted, I’d probably be way chicken to even go see it.
I might have to get someone to look at it for me.
Or I could be the crazy theatre chick booking it to the call board like a maniac to see if she got her role Anita which should totally be hers and then either screaming of utter happiness that she got it, or being mad to tears if she didn’t.
I really...
If you're a theatre person.
breighjusino:
Or if you’re theatre alumni, you know the feeling. You do a show or a musical, and because of a ridiculous number of rehearsals, late nights, and shows, you are sooooo over every song or line. I was in Mulan two years ago, and I’m currently listening to I’ll Make a Man Out of You. I’m actually in the mood for it, and I’m alright with listening to the rest of the soundtrack. ...
I am conflicted
merelyprocrastinating:
Hairspray is over. We were sold out for the last show and everything was crazy and wonderful and infuriating and exhilarating all at once. I’m relieved because I’m constantly exhausted, I’m sore and bruised, and I’m behind on homework. I’m very sad though because it’s the last show I can do for a long time. It might have possibly been my last show. I don’t know how to feel...
