I've joined the cult. I saw wicked on broadway today.
Holy. mother. of god.

I won the lottery =]

Oh and it's my birthday. best day of my life <3

[Nudelkopf]

Wonder who'd keep the light on?

[wtfchuck]

I'm back on musicals.net after a short recess due to computer problems. I also have a new avatar (which I'll porbably stick to for a while) and it's actually me. (looking tired I know, it was taken in the early hours of the morning after a few drinks, but its arty and nice so i like it

How is everyone? If you give a damn about how my lifes going, I'll probably post alot more relevant information on twitter ( @CharleyByrne ) than on here.

[Brigantine]

Silk soy Nog is in stores... my life is complete!!!!!\

[wicked_boy]

I've got swine flu. (N)

[Patch]

[Brigantine]

Oh, GAWD, I'd love to buy a whole case, but have no place to put it!
I already drank half of it last night and the other half this morning. Good thing I'm doing a big grocery trip today and can buy more!!

[kozafluitmusique]

I woke up so late today ughh

[Alexia Dark]

Mmmm.... I think I am going to have to go get some Egg Nog!

Sickness is gone, but my voice is far from 100%. That`ll probably take a few days... as long as I am back to normal for Friday, when we block Lovely Ladies.

[~GertrudeMcFuzz~]

The Hair Broadway cast is transferring to London in March, right before I was supposed to go to NY to see them. My heart just shattered into ten thousand tiny pieces.

[Jman383]

I just found out today that my acting teacher was roommates with Stephen Schwartz in grad school, and Schwartz wrote songs about him. Weird.

[Tenalto]

What's with all of the thread necromancy that's been going on lately?

[wtfchuck]

[sylvesterm11]

^ I was wondering the same thing.

I have an hour of choir now, then running my rehearsals for 2 hours, then going to rehearsal that I'm in for an hour. Then homework, if I decide to do any. Then playing the sims. FML

[Yakko]

I will be in a recording studio after thanksgiving guys.

[wtfchuck]

[LadyOfTheLake]

There was an accident outside of my school this morning, and it knocked all the power lines out; we were sent home at 10:30, so I went to Atlanta Bread Company with some friends. A few hours later, we got a call that the power had come back, so we went back to school for a Grease rehearsal. And I got my dress for the prom scene - it's horrific, and I love it

[hyperactress23]

So... My English teacher made me read today. She always picks me for the really dramatic scenes. (We're in the drama unit, currently reading Fences.)

Normally I'd be fine with reading, even enjoy it. But I have a headache and couldn't read right and kept screwing up the lines...

[SmallTownIngenue]

Ugh. I am kind of heartbroken right now. About a month ago, I was planning on transferring to another college in ND that actually has a great up and coming MT program, but after many tear-filled fights with my parents I won't be able to transfer until next year (but I'm also looking at Roosevelt in Chicago and Milikin maybe).

So today, I just got an email from the MT director at that college and she told me they are having auditions for Tick, Tick, Boom on Sunday and that she would love to hear me sing. Unfortunately, I had to tell her I won't be able to. It sucks, because I would have LOVED the opportunity to play Susan.

I just can't wait to finish out the year here so I can go somewhere that actually takes theater seriously and isn't taught by hacks who only give lectures on egotistical stories about themselves.

At least the first semester is almost over.

[Yakko]

[Nudelkopf]

I just found out my final exam (FOR THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) is only 60mins long. Woohoo!

[nabla]

What's with all the necro-posting around here?

[hyperactress23]

Necro-posting?

Am I stupid for not knowing what that means?

[Mungojerrie_rt]

What happened to Spring? Straight from an unusually cold Winter into full on Summer.

[SmallTownIngenue]

So I just found out at rehearsal for an acting scene I'm at college in that I am going to be performing it in the campus cafe tomorrow. Oh, did I mention the scene is about two friends having lesbian feelings for each other? I am a little mortified about performing it in a restaurant, especially in the midst of my fellow students/peers, but I am an actor and this will be a good experience for me that will REALLY push me out of my comfort zone. It will also really help capture the tone of the scene, since it actually does take place in a restaurant.

Should be an experience.

[musialman]

I had strike earlier and spent me time "borrowing" an unopened pair of ballet shoes from 6 years ago and a deliously tight sweater vest. Oh and I went to Tj Maxx and got this amazing shirt that is kinda paisley like (Kurt from GLEE had the same one) for 10 dollars. The fashion gods have been smiling.

[RED15]

[Alexia Dark]

You know, if you just close your eyes and listen to the original cast recording of Jekyll & Hyde, forget the actual staging, the libretto and just imagine it in your head... it is freaking awesome.

I sort of do a movie-like reimagining in my head as I listen. It is beautiful.

[hyperactress23]

I just created a national day of optimism for a speech.

[curlyhairedsoprano91]

chatting tiems?

[Nudelkopf]

It's 105 F at home today

[lovesinging]

I'm listening to Heaven by the Los Lonely Boys for the first time in AGES. I'm enjoying it


Auditions tomorrow. I know I won't get anything more than ensemble, but I'm still nervous.

[kozafluitmusique]

Break legs, lovesinging! All other responses I have somehow responded to.

Sigh. I'm annoyed. And frustrated. And just want this semester to be over.

[mezzo_soprano]

My wig for Les Mis.

Tomorrow was sung at me. A LOT.

[Jman383]

[idTAPthat89]

This weekend is move in weekend for me and Nathan!! eee!!

Oh and ps...can we just elaborate on the fact that I will be living like 5 miles up the road from Jordan (Jman)...TRUTH.

[SmallTownIngenue]

Yay Lyss!!! Happy move-in!

And Jordan, that's so funny! I love having connections to famous people....my best friend kind of dated Jodi Piccoult's son (they both go to Yale). And now I'm friends on FB with him because I apparently chatted with him when I thought I was chatting with my friend and he thinks I'm hilarious.

But he and my friend had a big falling out/broke up so we don't really talk.

[Patch]

[coreyjay]

So i just got a callback for the Music Theatre course i auditioned for. It isn't until December so i have heaps of time to freak out about it lol. Pretty happy right now.

[fjays]

[SmallTownIngenue]

Congrats Corey!

And Fi, are you like, back? Yay if you are! You know you are loved here.

[idTAPthat89]

FIONAA!! Yay : )

I just saw a short film online .... it sent chills down my spine. The acting was brilliant. And I'm not saying I'm bias because I know the lead actor. But ... it was just ... flawless. Chills ran down my spine. I was like "...wow, I never knew he was that good." I mean, yeah, he's always been good .... but this was just ... wow.


And I'm procrastinating from my evil English paper.

ive had this effin song on repeat for way to long now. seriously...wild party is all i listen to these days.

on another note its 4 am and i have yet to do my calculus homework..talk about procrastination.

[Quique]

I got bored so decided to have a hit of crack cocaine.

J/K

But I did make myself a nice cup of coffee, something I should NOT be doing at 1:15 a.m. Coffee doesn't really keep me up though. I guess I've developed tolerance.

[Mungojerrie_rt]

The heat made a light explode. Lots of noxious white smoke.

[Quique]

I'm obsessed with the quality of this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUw-EpBv__o&feature=fvw

Amazing!!

[Beagle On Stage]

^ She has a hell of a voice, and I agree that's outstanding quality for a recording over seventy years old.

[LaurelDP]

I HAVE the footage of Tess Gardella uploaded onto my YouTube account. Check it out!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6G7E5RQ9QA&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpg2sa-0Jqc&feature=related

But, no, I have not seen the full film because I can't find it anywhere! Someone uploaded a bad quality copy of it on YouTube a while back and I saw about half of it. It was very interesting as it was even more faithful to Edna Ferber's novel. I believe she kills Captain Andy off half way. Boo!! lol.

The Parthy in that film version scares me half to death though.

[bittenbythetheatrebug]

I may have a date this weekend.

In other news, tech rehearsals have struck HARD. Director's in a panic, and suddenly I'm having a million and a half people come up to me and suddenly remember props they need. We only have 2 weeks til showtime, thanks so much, you guys (Please note, these are not scripted props.. I have all of those)!

Sorry about the double post above, but I have no idea how to delete one. You might be interested in the trivia page at IMDB on the 1929 Show Boat. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020402/trivia Quique, can you use your teacher's credentials at UC to view the archive copy?

[kozafluitmusique]

Guess what I have on Monday

An audition...I haven't signed up yet, but I don't have symphonic band Monday night & there are auditions from 6-10 pm (you sign up for a period of time) and I get out of class at around 7:00 or so. So I can audition. I feel so happy right now. It's Orpheus Descending. So ... any recommendations would be great. I need to find out if it's monologue/cold reading, though ... no where is being explicit. Oh, and Ana -- the director double majored in Russian and Theatre at your university.

I'm not expecting to get in, but I'm going to try!

[Quique]

[SmallTownIngenue]

I just found out two of my best friends, who have been in a relationship for almost two years together, split up. I'm honestly not surprised, as they have a lot of problems and she's moving back to Colorado (she transferred to the college he goes to so they could be together), and he's just been a terrible boyfriend lately.

I love them both, but I think the split is definitely for the best. He needs some time to stop being so immature and selfish, and she needs to learn to be on her own and do what she wants instead of only satisfying his needs. This also isn't the first time they've broken up, but I've got a feeling it's going to be the last.

[LadyOfTheLake]

[hyperactress23]

One of my friends swerved to miss a deer on his way back from lunch today. I didn't hear all of his injuries, but I know there's bleeding on the brain and his eye socket is out of place. A helicopter came and picked him up. The kid in the car with him hurt his elbow (last I heard they weren't sure if it was broken or not) but he's mostly okay.

[kozafluitmusique]

[BroadwayBeast]

So I have to record a video of me singing tonight for Penn State University. I got accepted for Music Education, now they just have to hear me sing, and play piano!

Should be fun. Perhaps Ill post the video later. Perhaps!

[SmallTownIngenue]

I want to be in a legit show again. SO BAD. I think I'm going to wait for Spelling Bee auditions though. Right now really isn't a great time schedule wise.

I'm just still sad about the whole transferring/Tick, Tick Boom thing. Just hoping I will get the opportunity for something soon.

[bittenbythetheatrebug]

Yay for your GPA, Tori!! That rocks.

Oh my G-d, Brooke! That's terrifying.. Sending him prayers.

Maggie, that so sucks you can't do tick, tick... BOOM!. You would be an incredible Susan. That's one of my favorite shows.

Break a leg, Julie-Anne!

[hyperactress23]

[SmallTownIngenue]

[hyperactress23]

So... An update: he broke his forehead, eye socket, and cheekbone. There is blod on the brain and an artery that won't stop bleeding. I got a picture and he looks horrible. If you pray, please keep him in your prayers!

[lovesinging]

I hate my english class. Last year I helped to start a tradition in which every year my AP class goes to see a show on broadway. (Last year we saw A Man for All Seasons---AMAZING.) I didn't have time this year to organize it, so another classmate narrowed the choices down between God of Carnage or Spiderman the Musical. Guess what they all voted for?

I have my Marymount audition on Saturday! First college audition! Eeeee! I just got my academic acceptance to the school.

One small catch, I have an upper respiratory infection. I'm trying to rest my voice as much as possible. Hopefully by Saturday I will be top notch again.

[Nudelkopf]

I move back in with my parents in 2 days, back in the ol' home town It'll be good to see my kitty again! Miaow! lol

And I've got a job already. Whoopie. The lady said she's been in town long enough to know my name, so I don't need an interview. (I mean, it's rare someone from a small country town represents our country in England for science/maths)

[Yakko]

Well I had my callback for the Lion today(was to be Friday but I'm going to be out of town by then) I had to sing King of the Forest......It was.........amusing........

[idTAPthat89]

Just bought a bedroom set for nathan and I I got the comforter, sheets, throw pillows, curtains..etc etc...I'm such a nerd but I'm realllly excited!

Off to finish calculus homework..woo!

[hyperactress23]

I won't post the pictures of Zack (he looks awful!) but here is one of his car:

[lilmissbroadway]

I've been working on my Epics Hero's Journey project for English all afternoon. This has also included be currently watching Dora the Explorer and drawing a very accurate picture of Backpack. To think that I'm 15 and my project is based on a Nick jr that really wasn't even part of my childhood...

[hyperactress23]

Update via text: "no more blood on the brain. they did stitches 3 layers deep. they say the bones will heal on their own because they are broke but still in place"

[hyperactress23]

(Sorry for double post)

Latest update: "False positive, there is blood on the brain... but theres to much going on now to do surgery tonight. but theres enough to have to do something soon."

Please, if you pray, do good vibes, whatever, he needs it!

[nabla]

Edit: Good vibes for your friend and *hugs*. I just realised how insensitive my hyper excited post looked after that

I HAD MY LAST EXAM TODAY! I NEVER HAVE TO DO FRENCH AGAIN AND HIGH SCHOOL IS COMPLETELY FINISHED YAAAAAAAY!

[bittenbythetheatrebug]

Brooke, I do prayers AND good vibes, so he'll be getting both from me.

Sooo...

I got my date. Even though we're paying for ourselves and right now he's sort of calling it "accompanying him". Whatever. I'm excited... Of course, there is a catch... He wants to go see the new Twilight movie. "Still I can't regret what I did for love......"

[Beagle On Stage]

[shakalakababy]

Meh, I was feeling pretty depressed but I talked to the guy I like for like an hour and now I'm feeling a bit better. Still don't know how he feels, wish I could read his mind. But I guess he wouldn't let me vent to him for an hour if he found me totally repulsing...

Three of my boyfriend's friends were in a really bad car accident this weekend - two seniors in high school, and one junior. They were all extremely intoxicated and the roads in their town are precarious, to say the least. One senior passed away from his injuries yesterday afternoon, and the other senior flatlined while in a coma last night. The junior, the only girl in the accident, is in ICU but is stable. He's really broken up about it.

It's such a horrible situation. I hate drunk driving.
