Sue Me - 2007/01/11 22:30
Not exactly a performance, but I stll feel brag-worthy!
At the end of February, there is a state theatre competition called Thespian Festival. I've already planned to do two duets and a solo, and am working on them now. (except the solo- I haven't picked it yet [eek!])
Anyway, my friend Alex (who was my husband in Seussical) and I are doing "Sue Me" from Guys & Dolls. We got the music right before Christmas Break, and we both took a copy to learn the individual parts. And yesterday we sang it together for the first time, with an accompanist.
AND OMG... it was amazing. even though we had just planned on singing it through, before we knew it, we were so into it that we were making up blocking as we went along... we were both SO INTO the song. I have never been that into a character before. It felt so natural.. I belted up to a B flat! (Usually that is really hard for me) And Alex was the best I'd ever heard him sing. It was Magic.
After we were done, we found out the entire musical theatre class was standing outside the practice room, listening. Our director was really impressed. If every rehearsal goes so well, I really think we'll win at the competition. The song is great for us, it's great for competition, and it's funny, which tends to help.
As soon as we get it blocked and rehearse more, I'll put a video up.
 Yay for Chemistry!
Has Anyone else had a magic moment like that?
