Speaking of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, we open A WEEK FROM TOMORROW! I'm pretty excited. I am having a lot of fun with the show and the people in it. Hope all y'all will come if you're free!
[For convenience' sake, and because I'm afraid the Cottonwood Joseph blog will suddenly disappear one day, here is the post in full:]
Last weekend, a group of us from the show had the very cool opportunity to advertise and celebrate at Butlerville Days, a festival celebrating the pioneers who settled in the Cottonwood Heights area. It was a hot day, and we were exhausted by the end of it, but it was worth it!
We had sparkly stars painted on our faces.
We marched in the parade, some carrying the banner...
Some handing out flyers, crayons and candy...
Some riding in the car with music blaring...
...ALL of us singing and having a good time!
As I said, it was hot, so we were grateful for the people along the way who provided water bottles and encouragement. I was impressed by and proud of my fellow castmembers who were not afraid to walk up to so many strangers and had them fliers. Such brave children and confident adults!
After the parade, many of us helped at the Arts booth to sell bracelets with the phrase "Any Dream Will Do" on them. People who bought a bracelet and bring them to the show will get $1 off tickets for themselves and one other person. I bought three (in addition to my castmember bracelet) to give to my family. It didn't occur to me until the next day I had bought lightsaber colors -- green, blue, and purple (my cast bracelet is red)!
We also sang in the big talent show. We sang "Jacob and Sons" and "Joseph's Coat." We had some prime performance real estate, too! We got to sing right before the musical group Eclipse, so we had a huge crowd for the second song. It was great to feel the audience's energy and get everyone excited about coming to see us perform!
It was a fun day, and all of us who chose to go were glad we did. Any chance to sing these songs and play with this group of people is a happy one for me!
