So I've been super busy lately because I'm in Thoroughly Modern Millie at my high school. Right now, though, I have spring break off from rehearsals. Rehearsals have been going FABULOUS! We are sooooo ready for performances, which are March 30-April 2. The cast is amazing; we're all just one big family that works great together. I definitely have bonded with several people in the cast so far. Our director has done such an awesome job of leading us to a great ending and I thank her for everything she has done for the cast. Oh, and did I mention how great the crew is? Anyways, I'm really enjoying the show as a whole and hopefully our performances go well. We had a preview performance last week on Wednesday and we got a great reaction from the audience!

PLEASE check out this blog post. It has a video and an article about the show, so tell your friends and family (that is, if you live in Colorado).
(Hey Colorado high schoolers! If you bring in your school I.D. on March 31 to the 7 PM performance, you can get discounted admission.)

Alice Heading for Broadway
Think you've seen enough of the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts? Well get ready for Wonderland: A New Alice. A New Musical! Yes, that's right, soon Broadway will make way for the Disney classic. Oh but don't worry because Disney is not producing this musical (for once). So no need to fret about more Disney on Broadway (I know I'm sick of it!) I'm actually excited about this show because it is yet another take on this story. It is supposed to be pretty close to the original but of course ON STAGE! I watched a preview of it on Broadway and the music sounds upbeat and interesting. It's opening at the Marquis Theatre on April 17. I'm really hoping this show does well on Broadway.

Spiderman Vs. Elphaba
Okay, so every Broadway geek has probably heard about the success of Spiderman: The Musical. According to weekly grosses, it is coming up very close to the insanely popular Wicked. Personally, I'm rooting for Wicked to overrule the newcomer to Broadway because most people only really like Spiderman for its special effects. I have not yet heard one person mention that it has a great score or amazing lyrics. Now take a look at Wicked. The score, lyrics, costumes, set, special effects, everything about it is amazing! Then what makes Spiderman so great? I honestly don't see it, since there have been other shows with cool special effects plus more. I'm really hoping that when people read this post, they realize that Wicked has so much more than Spiderman.
