Noms...yes please!!!

Okay so today was super exciting because finally the Tony nominations for the 2010/2011 season on Broadway have come out! I personally am really excited to see who wins this year in the "Best Musical" category. I am rooting for Catch Me If You Can and maybe Sister Act, though I'm sure that The Book of Mormon is going to win. By far this show has the most nominations, which is 14, this year. Scottsboro Boys is not too far behind, with 9 nominations. For the "Best Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical" category, I'm absolutely positive that Sutton Foster will win for her amazing performance in Anything Goes. Many critics have been raving about how Foster fits Reno Sweeney ever so perfectly. This year's "Best Revival of a Musical" will be a tough category, with Anything Goes and How to Succeed... the only shows in this category for this year. With the Tony's, you never know what might happen. To find the whole list of Tony nominations, go to: http://www.tonyawards.com/en_US/nominees/index.html

Thoroughly Prepared

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.
