Why Do I Do This?

"Why do I do this?" is a question many artists have asked themselves throughout their careers. "Why do I put myself through this hell?" Let me tell you something I have been thinking about this question a lot recently. Not just about theatre, but about life in general. "Why am I doing this? What's the point?" I cannot tell you the amount of times I have seriously debated ending my theatre career before it even starts because of stupid things people say and lies that have been spread about me. I think of everything that I go through in a single day and think "Is this worth it? Is any of this really worth it?" I'm gonna be honest with you I've not had it easy and I've come close to quitting many times, but I keep pushing forward. Earlier today was one of those days where I seriously felt like quitting. I was in the middle of cleaning my room when a picture frame fell off my dresser. I picked it up and it was a picture of me and my Grandma (the one who introduced me to theatre) and I realized I need to stop thinking and just let go of everything and clear mind. I grabbed a snack, got into bed and snuggled up under the covers and watched Cats (The 1998 film version.) And the first few notes of the overture started (You know the "da na na na na na na na da na na na na na na na.") I suddenly became a kid again. I was 4 years old and in my Grandma's family room sitting right in front of her TV and she put in the VHS (Google it if you don't know what that is) 2 tape collectors edition of Cats and with those first few notes I was enthralled. The overture and the orchestra seeing all of the eyes getting smaller and then all of a sudden the set appears and I thought "Well nothing can top that. That was epic!" and I was proven wrong. Everyone of the cats coming out in the beginning and then they opened their mouths and the most glorious vocals came out. I remember being stuck in a trance because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. With every song I was drawn in more and more and was fascianted. Anyway back to present day: I was there in my bed and those first few notes of the overture reminded me why I'm doing this. I'm doing this because of the way that film made me feel as a child. I'm doing this because theatre has helped me, changed me, educated me, healed me and saved me. I'm doing this because I love the theatre and the way it makes me feel. I'm doing this because maybe one day their will be a little kid who sits in their Grandma's living room and watch a musical, play, opera or ballet and they sit there and say "Oh my god this is epic. What is this?" And they dive into this beautiful world that helps them throughout life and shows them so many wonderful things. That is why I do this. I do this for the effects that theatre has on someone's heart. I do this because nothing feels the same as working on a show and then seeing it all come together and looking into the audience and seeing someones face light up. That is why I do this. Why do you do this?

Unexpected Song: Back to Before

Quick Life Update: My life has been crazy so I apologize for not posting a lot. I'm hoping to get my life under control soon and plan on doing a lot of reviews for some upcoming tours I'm seeing! Now onto the post!

I, shockingly, only have had Ragtime in my life for less than a year now. If you don't know what Ragtime is it is this absolutely gorgeous musical that tells the story of 3 different groups of people (Whites, Blacks and Immigrants) during the early 20th Century in America. It is an absolutely gorgeous piece with a book by Terrence McNally and a score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens. If you ever have the chance to go see this show then do it. It is gorgeous and I gurantee you it will change your life. My favorite song in this show is the 11 O'clock number "Back to Before" sung by Mother where she examines everything that has happened to her throughout the show and realizes there is no going back. The song is just absolutely exquisite and I wanted to share some of my favorite covers of that song.

Fresh Blooded Principles in Wicked (Part 3)

It's only been a few months since I last made a post about fresh blooded principles in Wicked and look how much has changed since then! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 5 YEARS WE GOT A FRESH BLOODED ELPHABA ON BROADWAY!!!! HANNAH IS PROOF OF WHY CASTING FRESH BLOOD IS IMPORTANT AND VITAL TO A PRODUCTION!!! We also got a new Madame Morrible, Nessarose and Boq on the US Tour as well as a new Fiyero and Dr. Dillamond in the West End. Unfortunately we still have no fresh blood in the role of Glinda across the boards (Although it was a given the UK wouldn't have a fresh blood since they just had Sophie Evans.) We also have no fresh blood Elphaba for another year on the West End. I really don't understand why casting directors find it so difficult to cast fresh blood in the roles of Elphaba and Glinda. There are so many amazing women who could do these roles and they just keep bringing back the same often mediocre people or only promoting the most mediocre standbys. It's time for some fresh blood in the two lead roles Wicked. I'm getting tired of seeing the same people. Again, I've listed dates of the latest fresh blood in a role meaning they were never an understudy or standby and/or weren't in a prior production of Wicked before. If a person's name is underlined that means they are currently in the show.

73rd Annual Tony Awards Predictions: Part 4

I wasn't able to watch the Tony Awards live this year because I didn't have access to a TV, but oh well. I still think that King Kong should have won for Best Sound and Amber Gray deserved Best Featured Actress win. However, for this first time I have gotten all 8 acting categories correctly and I believe this is the best prediction's I've done. I only have 9 wrong out of a total of 26. I know not my best response, but I have a lot going on right now so... deal with it.

ABC= Nominee that I predicted would win
ABC= Nominee that won

If a category has only a name in pink that means that the nominee I predicted would win did win.

                                              73rd Annual Tony Awards Predictions: Part 3

                                              I don't even know what to expect anymore with the Tony Awards. Giving Beetlejuice nods for Best Musical and Best Book over The Cher Show, I just don't get it. Also all of those nominations for Ain't Too Proud? Alright, let's get this over with people. On top of all of this we have the blandest host in my opinion.

                                              ABC= Nominee I would like to win
                                              ABC= Nominee I think will win

                                              If a category has only a name in pink that means that is the nominee I would like to, and I think will win.
                                              If a category only has a name in red that means that I have no prefernce on who I would like to win. (Except for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a musical, in which I couldn't decide)
