Just say the lines Why are they busting out in a song and prancing around while talking about cats or the phantom at the opera? Because it's a musical! I was in a comedy musical over the summer, and the songs and choreography were hilarious. "Cats" would be boring if it was just dialogue. Hell, what would "The Wizard of Oz" be without all those great songs? I have only been to one opera. It was OK, but they sings their hearts over stupid stuff like losing a shoe.

When in NY will look at what’s playing if I have free time. Just don’t get musicals and they have always seemed strange to me. Old man energy here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grace Under Pressure 125 Posted Friday at 09:36 PM When your daughter is in theater, you take her and her friends to Broadway shows. It's called being a good dad.

Sandy Loam 203 Posted Friday at 09:57 PM 20 minutes ago, Grace Under Pressure said: That's great stuff. Hats off to performing. Very tough. My wife is a real good actress, has a theater degree and taught high school theater. She had the lead female role in a play a couple of years ago and dragged me into a small part, and I loved it. Then I got a juror part in "12 Angry Men," and that led to playing the sheriff in "Misery" and played it nothing like the guy in the movie. I found this ridiculous long coat at Goodwill and gave the guy a Cajun accent. I came in from the back of the theater and had walk-up music. On opening night, just before I went up the stairs and onto the stage, I have a little hip shake, and the audience busted out laughing. After that I became the dancing sheriff, and the second night I did that, I got got a round of applause as I went back up the aisle and out the door. We somehow turned "Misery" into a dark comedy. It was great, and as word of mouth got around, shows almost sold out. The biggest challenge was what came next: the hilarious "Tuna Christmas." It's a 97-page script and only two actors, each playing 10 different characters, including women. The other actor had actual Broadway experience, so I really had to step up my game, and I held my own. Custom changes were a hugely difficult part of it, and I had everything meticulously laid out behind the partition. If either of us got stuck getting into an outfit, whoever was stuck out on stage had to kick into improv mode. I got stuck out there and just started making up sh!t and got laughs. I didn't bobble a single line during the run of shows, and the only time I focked up was on opening night and not coming out with a wig on for the final scene, but he audience thought I had done it on purpose. I was exhausted because we did a dress rehearsal earlier in the day, and the mind and body are not build to run "Tuna Christmas" twice in a day. It's focking exhausting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've often said that September is my least favorite month here. You watch some college football with people wearing sweatshirts in autumnal weather, while you are sitting in your boxers in AC. But, we do have nice weather close by. We're heading up to the NE part of the state, an area called the White Mountains, this weekend for two weeks. Two early for fall colors but, should be a nice break. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like being out there and exploring ways to develop a character. It's so fun when a show takes on a life of its own and the audience loves it.
