Wow!

The show was amazing! It was lots of fun, went by quickly and I've never experienced such a feeling of teamwork or euphoia from a performance than with our Wooden Soldiers number. The fall worked! The choreographer REAMED us on Thursday night practice because we hadn't successfully done it yet (we kept breaking in the middle). But it worked last night! The choreographer told us that in her 19 years of doing the show she thought that perhaps it was the best one yet. I was beaming when I drove home and was filled with energy (despite the amount of bruises that grow on my legs each night from having lots of women fall on me).

After a quick change when I got home B and I headed out to Davis Square for http://bazaarbizarre.tripod.com/ . He picked up a neat 'Satanic Vampire Bunny' shirt and I got a cute little clay elf ornament. The women that do punk rock aerobics at the Middle East were DJs and the place was FILLED with people! After exhausting the tables and getting overwhelmed by the numbers of people B and I headed over to Diva for a late night dinner (they were ready to close and we were the only customers in the restaurant). Somehow a PB&J sandwich at 5:00 before a show just wasn't a filling dinner.

Today I need to get to the HS for practice at noon before our 2:00 show and I'll have a little break before having to be back at 6:30 for a 7:00 show tonight. I can't believe how fast this weekend is going by!

And now, back to sit with my tea and watch some of the Home and Garden Channel again (mmmm, I love remodeling shows, I'm definitely my father's daughter!).

Hurrah! Now that my $$ crisis is solved, I only have a time crisis in the way of seeing your show. How much longer does it run, any weeknights? Next week is theatre week for me, no free nights, but the week after is free to seeeee...Jodiiiii.

I'm so glad your show went well!

Congrats on your show! I saw the rockettes do that soldier thing and I know how amazing it is!

I wish you would have mentioned the bizarre bazaar before! I would have loved to go. Sounds like great fun. And Somerville isn't too far away now. :)

The show

Its today and next weekend - I'm not sure what (if any shows) are left so if you're interested you should definately call today to find out :)

See http://www.reagleplayers.org for more information.

I've seen the show in NYC 3 or 4 times before - its neat to do the same thing in my hometown :) I think the routine is the same and we actually buy our costumes from them too! I've been dying to take my husband to see it in NYC (because Radio City is such a beautiful theater and we just can't do all the same stuff in Waltham - like the ice rink that rises from under the stage or the real animals in the living nativity).

Sorry about the Bizzare Bazzar thing - it was actually an afterthought on Friday since (amazingly) I had lots of energy after the show. :)

It's that after-show high! :) No worries. I just need to figure out what lists/papers/magazines to check out to find out where all the cool stuff is happening. Any suggestions?

Yup,

Check out www.gothicboston.org :) There's also an associated mailing list (netgoth@shore.net) where events are mentioned and social activities/meetings planned. Its hit or miss (sometimes lots of babble and silly flamewars) but if you're comfortable using our delete key and are pretty aware of general netiquette you'll do fine :)

Check out www.bostonphoenix.com

There's always lots going on - there isn't enough time to do it all :)

Oh rats! I got home too late for today, and next weekend is my Nutcracker, all 3 days. sigh... I hope you get a video, I would like very much to see it, even if I can't see it live.

That's OK . . . I think both of yesterday's shows were sold out anyway!

I know that someone videotaped it on Sunday night (unfortunately it was probably the worst show of the 5 this weekend but, oh well). The choreographer is going to check and see if the video will be available for sale and if it is I'll DEFINATELY be getting a copy :)

That's the thing that stinks about being in a show - you can't see how it looks from the audience :)

...and you can't see the shows of your friends.... sigh.

I will count on seeing the video then :~)
