Went back in to sing for How To Succeed today. Got a "We'll be in touch" ... could be dismissive, could be good, who knows! Any feedback is better than no feedback at all... at least it wasn't the dreaded, generic "Thank you!"
It was a gray, perfect day for me to sing my new favorite Sondheim go-to song, which literally has the line "What thought I could be duller, more depressing, less gay... now my favorite color is graaay."
Don Giovanni rehearsal was a bit full of the dramz... Don Giovanni himself even had a moment where he insisted, and this is a verbatim quote "I am the sun, you see, so everything in this production must revolve around me." True as that may be.... it was a bit absurd that he actually said that out loud! Leperello, as always, was full of timely comedic relief, and we finally met the Commendatore! What a deep voice, what a fantastic capacity to stoke fear in the hearts of all us lowly servants and party people on DG's final evening on earth!
Mr. Grandage is stunningly calm with all of the demanding personalities in his cast; I am continually impressed by his ability to coral the emotions and creativity of his team.
Anyway, another long day tomororow... now I think I may actually go to sleep super early, so lame, but soo necessary. Spin class at 6am tomorrow!
