I'm hungry like the wolf

I am starvin. there is a retirement party upstairs and the food smell is emanating down the staircase(or elevator) and into my office.

I got my hair did(ok, it's in that stupid Missy Elliot song). Anyway it's all highlighted up like red and coppery and stuff. It looks really awesome. I went to Robin, the hairlady for all the musicals, and she spent 2.5 hours fixing my hair up real purty-like. ok, I'll stop talking that nonsense. So, it looks really great. Maybe I'll post a picture and maybe I won't. And maybe I will...

Oh, haha. Funny story. So I went to heated yoga yesterday and was taught by helena for the first time. she's really nice and she talks really fast. But anyway, I was doing alright until about 3/4 of the way through class. I started feeling really weird so I sat out a pose here and there. then towards the end I had to sit down because I think I was getting over-over-heated. So I sat down and chugged some water from my bottle. BAAAAAAAD IDEA. I was like, "I have to find the nearest exit" so I got up and nonchalantly walked through the room, into the waiting room(which was cold), and opened the front door in time to throw up all of the water I drank and a little bit of a granola bar all over the sidewalk right in front of the studio. After this happened I had to figure out how to get rid of this enigma on the sidewalk(which wasn't even really a big deal because it looked like someone poured water out) . I preceded to take water from the water cooler and dump it onto the sidewalk to disperse the little bits of granola and then everything looked fine. After that I went back into yoga, finished with the stretches, got my stuff and was ready to walk out the door when this guy opened it from the outside and told me to watch my step. If only he knew...

Ok, so I know this is my third picture posting in a row but I had to post a pic of little Miss Maggie Twizzle. Isn't that a funny picture?/ I love making hamsters look like giants. 

Great Paaaaaaaarty!

Heated yoga is not for wimps

Man, I took my second heated yoga class this morning. I swear I sweated 20 lbs of water off. It's a really challenging class and I recieved ten free sessions from Nancy so I say what the heck? And there were only 3 of us in class so I recieved extra instruction on the poses.

What exercise should I try next? I'm doing a poll.

Bye Bye, Bye Bye Birdie!!

Well, it's come at last. At last it's come. The day I new would come at last has come at last!

If you don't know what I'm talking about then you didn't see the show. And why not? It was a freaking awesome show!!!!! Awesome!! Today's the last day! It's not too late...Say hello to 'Bye Bye Birdie'

Here's what the Fla Today Newspaper Reviewer thought:

BY BREUSE HICKMAN FOR FLORIDA TODAY
Unlike the '70s musical "Grease" which points a satirical finger at how a generation would like to remember the '50s, "Bye Bye Birdie" hasn't aged well. It probably was dated when it debuted on Broadway in 1960 with its condescending reaction to the kids of the day and their rock 'n' roll music.
Still, it's apparent why the Tony Award-winning show has legs. Though the musical score by Charles Strouse and Lee Adams gets away with merely hinting at the beat of the '50s, it does manage a few timeless hooks guaranteed to have you humming along, particularly on "Kids," "A Lot of Living to Do" and "Put on A Happy Face."
It's no wonder that since the '70s, "Birdie" has provided a lightweight vehicle for young, eager performers that has kept it a staple of high school theater departments.
That said, the Henegar Center offers a high-spirited production that accurately showcases the generation gap by casting young people as teenagers and older folks as their parents. And because the show is being staged in Brevard County, the story's setting rarely seems anachronistic.
Director JoAnne Mitchell keeps the pace zippy and fun, so it doesn't matter if dated references to "The Shadow" or former Time magazine publisher Henry Luce are lost on parts of the audience -- much less on the majority of performers who weren't even born when the show premiered.
What story there is focuses on Albert Peterson, played with just the right amount of nebbish charm by Rob Landers, (a FLORIDA TODAY page designer). His dream is to become an English teacher. His secretary Rose Alvarez, played by the stunning Rachel Melinda Wyce, also has a dream, one that's typical of women in '50s musicals: to get married. For many longsuffering years, she has pined for Albert, who manages rock 'n' roll star Conrad Birdie.
Landers and Wyce have wonderful singing voices that lend to their chemistry throughout the show. Of course we know how they are going to end up.
Just like Elvis, Conrad -- played by Danny Ahern, who mixes lovable dumbness with plenty of teen idol charisma -- has been drafted into the Army, possibly spelling the end of his career, not to mention Albert's. Rose gets a bright idea for Conrad to randomly choose a fan and give her a goodbye kiss on live television just before he leaves, meaning Conrad and Albert can feed off the publicity.
The chosen one is Kim Mac-Afee (Rachel Schur) of Sweet Apple, Ohio. That takes us to the MacAfee home, giving us a view of one of the show's best and most elaborate sets designed by Jerry Brees.
As tradition dictates, "The Telephone Hour" places the teenagers in a Dalian, Hollywood Squares-like set piece. The number is fun to watch, though the tricky, higher notes were unfortunately out of range for the young voices, making it the weakest number in the show.
Terrence Girard earns the most laughs as Kim's hammy, put-upon father.
As his son and Kim's brother, the diminutive Joey Swift is a delight.
Brees has kept the choreography busy but simple. Rose seduces her Shriners into giving a hilarious under-the-table dance sequence, though it would have been more effective had the set been brought downstage.
Certainly, this "Birdie" succeeds at showing off its youthful talent. But the adults also fare well. Chandler McCree, who appeared in "A Flea in Her Ear," and Bob Barone always are a joy to watch even in smaller roles.
Conductor Robin Ryon's pit orchestra was in fine form, though occasionally it drowned out some of the weaker voices.
The Henegar's latest effort is a fun family show that should energize anyone's evening.

Ok, i'll stop pestering you to see it now.

So it's almost over. We had a really great run. We almost sold out every night! I want to do the next show but I think I'm only allotted one show per year since I work at the theatre so I guess I'll have to quit just so I can keep doing shows there ;)

On the upside, we are going to have a really sweet cast party to finish out the show! I made these cream cheese-filled crescent rolls to bring. They're really yummy!

Ok, I must get ready now. I have to peel the glue off of my fake eyelashes, wash my tights, take a shower, etc., etc., etc.

On another exciting note, all of you Chicago(musical) fans out there would find this interesting.
I was reading the paper yesterday and it said that this ballerina from Russia was practicing at the Henegar Center to prepare for a production of Sleeping Beauty. Well it turns out I had spoken to her a few days ago about her rehearsal schedule and use of the dance studio and had thought that she looked very familiar. Then I read the article and it said she was the Russian prisoner in the movie CHICAGO!!!!!!!!!! How freakin cool is that??? I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!
