Too Darn Hot!

No, the title is not in reference to the weather outside (though it was a pleasant day today). It's in reference to the only song I know in the next show I'm doing.

Remember last week when I posted that I wasn't called back for Kiss Me Kate? Apparently, it was because they'd seen all they needed... to decide they wanted me in their show! I got an email on Saturday asking if I would accept a part in the ensemble (They had to send an email because it seems I gave them a bad phone number - ack!). I called the stage manager this morning and accepted the role. It was such a rush!

When I looked at the cast list, I realized I am one of only 14 girls in the show - 7 in each cast! Crazy, eh? I am totally flattered, and totally, totally excited. I loved the dancing at the callback and can't wait to get to know the show and the cast and become reacquainted with the theatre. I haven't done a show at Rodgers in 5 years, and I only did the one. I'm not thrilled about the commute in the worst months of winter, but maybe there will be people I can carpool with... I hope the other three people I know are in my cast -- or that at least one of them is!

Rehearsals start after Thanksgiving which gives me a chance to close my current show before I start another. That will be nice. Not really a break, but at least they don't overlap, and I already had a 9 month break from theatre earlier this year.

Yaaaaaaaaay!

(If the dancing is anything like indicated at the callback, or like that in this clip, it may kick my butt. That's worth seeing, isn't it?)
