Nailed it.
That fucking disaster.....pardon me, that scene that used to be a fucking disaster, all finally came together (almost perfectly) last night.
Allegra and I ran it before the show, which was seamlessly done, to which AJ responded, "Fuck yeah, fuck yeah! It's like a polaroid just developed!"
So yeah. I'm happy about that.
The show actually, kind of, almost is a complete show.
The best thing that happened last night was the fact that we finally had whipped cream in a can for me to squeeze into my mouth.
Well, I got a little overzealous with the stuff and put so much into my mouth that I couldn't say my lines, and then I just started laughing, so it was difficult to swallow.
All of that sounded quite dirty, but seemingly appropriate.
If we had to open tonight I would feel confident.
Which is pretty damn impressive I might say, since we started working on it a week ago.
Considering we have two whole rehearsals left, I feel excellent about the whole thing.
In Gambit this week there is a little preview article in the stage section, a big ad in The Minute Magazine, and Aura Fedora had a blog interview with Allegra the other day that is now on BackStage Bayou.
Allegra and I also did the morning show yesterday, which got us about 25 tickets closer to reaching our goal for 100 tickets sold before opening night.
I must say, if I had to be awake at that ungodly hour, and had to be lovely and talkative, AJ was the best person to have with me.
The boy literally never, ever shuts up. Just punch line, after pun, after inappropriate joke.
It made the experience far more pleasant than it had any business being.
I promise after I finish this show I'll have more stimulating things to type about.
That's probably a lie.
But I will try.
Ooh, ooh!
Top Chef Las Vegas starts uber soon, Project Runway starts on the 20th, and MAD MEN is this Sunday!
Oh, and I bought a car. Huzzah!
I was just thinking, hey, I wonder if Natalie's posted recently, and boom, there you are. Can't wait to see Marmalade. Would promote your blog on my blog but that would only hasten the inevitable day when the spam fairy discovers your blog and starts emailing it to everyone on god's green earth.
