Heather!!

Well, week two is almost over. Second show down. Heather is a...........mazing.


Hope you are well and all is grand in your lives.

Let me clarify that last one for y'all... Heather is our amazing stager. She teaches us the shows just like a director and a choreographer combined; but, since the shows have already "opened" she re'stages' them onto us. It's a very difficult job because often times shows become messy and the stager has to shape things up a bit. Heather does all that and more. She's funny, talented, sweet, beautiful, and a riot! She likes long walks on the beach... Jk, I'm not writing her personal add, she's engaged to be married! Although she was upset that I failed to mention her in my first blog; so I am trying to makeup for that, to escape from doing 50 push ups. Also the better you do something, the longer her pause is between a and mazing.




We finished our second show called 'Studio 54' yesterday. In it I sing a Beatles set among other fun songs like the Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash." we are rehearsing two different ships at the same time with the same shows the Cloud (which i am to go on) and the Wind, and because the male singer for the Wind is staying on the ship, I'm the only male singer at rehearsals. This means I "get" to rehearse everything twice with both casts. Haha. So I may be very tired and really not want to, but it actually is very good for me because it sinks in a lot better than doing it on the side once. Plus one of the female dancers on the Wind is staying as well, so the lovely and very talented Nina does the same. Let me tell you, We Are Exhausted after a seven to nine hour rehearsal day!




Our musical director Manny is absolutely a gem. He isn't with us on the weekends, but he's so talented that learning all the music seems easy. (even though the five minute German song is still haunting me because I have yet to learn it.) one day at a time. I would talk more about all the inns and outs of the company I'm working for and who everyone is, because everyone is absolutely lovely, but this blog isn't really meant for that. I'm keeping it more focused on my day to day (ok, week to week) adventures. The places I see, the progress I make kind of thing. (that's progress for all the Canadians reading at home.) {sorry I'll try to keep the inside jokes to a minimum.}

Today's rehearsal will be running everything in "54" and making sure we are prepared for tomorrow's office run. Translation: Rhett and Nina will be dead at the end of the day. Haha. I have to say that I love both casts a lot. I've become very close with all three casts rehearsing (the spirit, the cloud, and the wind). So far it's been a wonderful, exciting, demanding, and tiring rehearsal process.

On a completely different note, I miss all my friends and family (we have a dance move called the "hi mum" -it gets me every time), can't wait to catch up on "the voice" and "the killing" (hint hint Rob), and hope that you all are winning just as much as I am! (it's the new phrase one of my very best friends and I created. Everything you do just follow it with "I win" - makes life happier!)

Spread love,
Rhett
