This morning was my first rehearsal with the (enormous) La Boheme cast and chorus (and children's chorus!). At one point I was trying to count everyone onstage, but gave up because there are just SO many people.
The experience is fabulous; children are stomping around a two-story set, older (more mature... searching for the PC term here, people) ladies are giving sass and telling fortunes in no particular order. And LO and behold, there are two live animals in the show! One gorgeous Andalusian-looking horse to draw Musetta's carriage and one donkey to pull the cart with all the kids toys.
The animals are so cute that I can put aside the fact that they make more than me.
Suffice it to say, it's been quite easy to act excited about everything that I see when I'm on stage with my shopping buddy, Lauren. We have this fun track where we hang out with the choristers and then wander up the center stairwell, play with the children, buy some jewels, and get sassed by some older ladies. Good times, good times.
Just finished a yoga class followed by a fabulous dinner of quinoa (my first time cooking it, HD, and I did it!), spinach, sausage, and corn. Can we say HEALTH? Had a protein shake for dessert... really working toward those extra five pounds of muscle for dance calls.
All in all, today was none to shabby on the pursuit of achieving goals front!
Hugs and Love,
A Broadway Baby
