One Singular Senational Week!

Well, I have finished my first week of rehearsals and  it has already been such an amazing experience!

Let me walk you through a typical day!

9:45am: everyone is milling in, starbucks or whatever in hand. We are all chatting, laughing, stretching... and setting up our mats...

10:00am: Here we go... probably one of the most intense work outs ever created. And it goes on for a solid 45 min to an hour. I would estimate around 200 crunches are done...words can not describe how sore my abs and quads were all week.

11am: choreo time! Of course we started with the Opening Jazz combo! Every time I do it, I still get that "wow I'm doing the Chorus Line combo" feeling. It is such an iconic part of musical theatre history!

1:30 pm: lunch... but not for our fierce Cassie! She still has a whole hour dedicated to Music and the Mirror rehearsal...EVERY DAY! She's fierce! like,... REALLY fierce!

2:30 mp: back at it! The first few days were just music in the afternoon, but now that all the music has been learned... it's more choreo! one would think this was a dance show or something?

6:00pm: released for the day... home to ice, tiger balm, food, and passing out!


This has been one of the most exhausting weeks of my life! But I feel so blessed. Not only am I doing this show...and this role.... everyone I am working is incredibly talented and hard working and fun! The atmosphere in the room has always been supportive. And let me tell you, it's not an easy show....not just physically tiring, but mentally as well. And we all have each other's backs.

Baayork Lee is an amazing woman, she has more energy than all of us 20seomethings. She is so passionate about the material (i mean she's been with it for over 30 years) and no one knows it beter than her. She is tough, but not mean. She knows what she wants and she demands 100% always! I respect her so much. Hopefully I remember my numbers though, cause she could beat me up.... she's very strong for such a small woman!

Memorable quotes:
chanting "Cellulite Away"
"Oh my Quads Oh my Quads you guys"
"None Son, my cousin, he doesn't have his papers yet"
"oo, sigh, my other cousins"
"we're going to Tacoma people"
