#musical mishaps

[books-netflix-and-pizza]

So last night was the parent preview of our musical, Beauty and the Beast. There are certain scenes that we’ve never run all the way through. We’ve never had a full dress rehearsal with proper costumes and such.

So we got through it all without a hitch, for the most part. The Beast forgot the mirror when Belle wanted to see her father so there’s that, but it wasn’t a problem to pretend.

Then we get to the scene where the Beast transforms into the prince. On opening night there’ll be smoke while he changes, but we had no smoke last night.

So after a few awkward seconds,!the Beast starts stripping on stage. He has jeans and a T-shirt under his furry costume, but it’s still extremely funny to watch him peel it off.

Backstage is full of laughter, you can probably hear us in the audience, who is also laughing.

He gets to his regular clothes and everyone starts yelling at him “your shirt!”

Now I thought they meant for him to put his costume shirt back on over his T-shirt. Nope.

They all wanted him to take his T-shirt off.

He came backstage after the scene with his girlfriend, the actress for Belle, laughing and somewhat red faced.

The actor for Lumiere walks up to him and tells him that he should have taken his shirt off.

He’s definitely red now and shakes his head “no!”

His girlfriend laughs and tells him he should have.

Nothing will ever be as entertaining as that was. It’s almost a shame we’ll have a smoke machine on opening night.

y'all may or may not know I'm a sound technician in my city's theatre and we just finished a production of les mis. It was fantastic, but also unfortunately, after having done a parody of Master of the House for Karaoke at school, all my brain could think of the whole time was "Master of the soup" "Keeper of the soup" "Ready to just feed you with a soupy soup"

ect

I went to the full Stabat Mater by Pergolesi at the Cathedral yesterday. MCS was in great voice as usual, though some of the soloists could have enunciated better. That room eats consonants, I’m telling you.

But what really impressed me was the professionalism and stoicism of the cello player in the ensemble. About two thirds of the way through, his bow broke. At the top where the tension is maintained on the bow hair. He couldn’t play for the rest of the piece and he just had to sit there hugging his cello until the piece was over. I felt so bad for him.

We saw him walking back to his car on the way home and he just looked so defeated.

Go to Peter Prier’s, awesome cello player! They can get you sorted out!

L and myself were geeking out though. Love that piece so much!

Hey guys heads up:

I'm about to post a new music video (which, I haven't written anything in FOREVER, so sorry) but because the sound on my laptop is broken, I had to edit it without sound.

So this should be fun ^.^

It's easy to be foolish when you've got nothing to lose It's easy to be selfish when no one depends on you Its easy not to bat an eye when you don’t know their names But this is not a game, you’ve grown out of child’s play

You thought you knew what it meant to lead a team But in twelve years you never gained the tools to see Your goof ups and mistakes never hurt anyone before But this is different This is war.

And sometimes people don’t come back Sometimes you can make mistakes A good man dies in front of you and you’re the only one to blame

Sometimes you lie awake at night Cause you can hear his final cry And you start to wonder why you joined the fight

Well did you fight the good fight?

OF COURSE! WHY NOT?! A love song HAD to sneak its way onto the work iPod and start WHILE I WAS WORKING MY CLIENT'S GLUTES! ...Ah well. At least it's slightly less awkward than the song about bondage that played sometimes during student clinic back when I was in school.

I was getting frustrated with an essay and highschool in general so I wrote a song to cheer me up. Because angsty/angry song make me happy.

Growing up can be pretty confusing When you're dying for affection but afraid of intimacy And you want a stable relationship but you've got a fear of commitment And it sometimes leaves the ones you know frustrated

Growing up. Yeah it's filled with strife. When you're about to graduate and you don't know what to do with your life There's so many opportunities, you think "why aren't there any ones for me?" and why is it so hard to afford a college education?

Growing up. Well its not as fun When you've got three essays due on monday and a test on WWI and you never get enough sleep cause you stay up all night studying and you fall behind again when you fall asleep in class

Growing up can be kinda hard When you're seventeen years old and you're too scared to drive a car so you get up at 6 AM, catch the bus to school again Cause every time you're in the front seat you think "I'm gonna die!" Statistically....

And it's really pretty sad Talk about wrecks yeah you've had....Two Now you're getting rides from somebody younger than you...
