Hello All!
I have returned from theater, the beach, the lake, etc. I have had such a busy summer, I've barley had time to blog! ( EEK!) But, I am back, and I have stories to tell.
My typepad blog has been suspended, so I have come back to this one. I have no idea WHY it was suspended, but it was.
1. My Theater Resume Collage
I've always wanted to make one of these, so I finally got around to it! I will be talking about
Hello Dolly &
Thoroughly Modern Millie, because those were the two I was in this summer.
2. Hello Dolly!
I was in 2 productions, so here are pictures and stories from both! first, SMT Hello Dolly.
SMT Hello Dolly:
In this production, I was in the chorus.
 |
| ( This was my bow tie for when I was a waiter in the Waiter's Gallop.) |
 |
| ( My coustume!) |
 |
| ( Me and my friend Anne, she was a horse in the opening number.) |
 |
| ( Harmonia Gardens!) |
 |
| ( And a lovely picture of me backstage that my friend took of me.) |
It was so much fun doing Hello Dolly with this cast, everybody did so well! and here are bullet points of the hilights of the experience :)
- I now have 5 daughters and 1 son, and 2 husbands
- I had a really fast quick change, which forced me to where my waiters costume underneath my other costume which caused me to break my hook on my skirt, making it almost fall off on stage
And now onto Clear Space Hello Dolly!
Clear Space Hello Dolly:
 |
| ( Me in Elegance.) |
 |
| ( Me and Cornelius during It Only Takes a Moment.) |
 |
( It Only Takes a Moment :3)
|
Hilights from this show were:
- Being Irene Malloy
- Getting to " Polka my way into a courthouse"
- Getting arrested, but then gets out of it by singing a love song
- Getting picked up by Cornelius trying to escape from Vandergelder
- During the last show, Cornelius' suspender came loose during the polka, so I had to hold onto it on his shoulder so it didn't fall off
- During it only takes a moment, he kisses me on my cheek, and after the first show, people were asking us backstage if we had actually kissed, not a kiss on the cheek, because it apparently looked liked we kissed ;)
3. Thoroughly Modern Millie
 |
| ( A terrible picture of me and Chris.) |
 |
| ( Me and Jimmy {The SAME guy who played Cornelius} durning our {2nd} love song) |
 |
| ( Me and Jimmy during I turned the corner) |
Hilights from TMM:
- Getting to be with Alex AGAIN as a stage couple, even our directer from the first week was like " There's Lexi and Alex"
- Getting to do a whole song about forgetting a boy
- Getting to act like we were on a window ledge a few hundred feet in the air
- Getting to sing a song about wanting to be rich
I had so much fun, and I cant wait till next summer :)
