The show is SO MUCH FUN! We opened last night, and I'm on a break in between our matinee and 8pm shows. As it's the day before Halloween, we also have one at midnight. Three show day, huh? Let's do the Time Warp...AGAIN. And AGAIN. AND AGAIN!!! Vocal stamina, be with me today!
We're having a ball. I'm learning so much, since we have to be on our toes at all times - y'know, because every audience is different, and more or less responsive, what with call-outs, dressing up, throwing toilet paper/confetti/playing cards, etc. It's fun when the real ROCKY fans come out and know a lot of the more hilarious call-outs. I'm posting a few pics that I'm in - more to come later, when I've raided the CD at the office. I'd say my Magenta is Naughty Nurse Ratched meets Gloria Swanson circa SUNSET BOULEVARD - and then there's my finale costume! The cast is RIDICULOUS. So funny, and amazingly talented singers. And the band - the band! It's so exciting to rock out every night. Or day. Or whenever. I've lost track of time already.
Okay, I have to leave my beautiful internet cafe haven (if you're ever in Asbury Park, do yourself a favor and visit The Twisted Tree Cafe. They make EVERYTHING fresh, and have a lot of vegan/veggie options for those who need that, plus free wifi, amazingly lovely owners, and delicious everything!) and head back to the Carousel House (the show is playing on the boardwalk in what used to be a carousel. It makes for a really cool non-traditional playing space) to get back into mic and eyelashes. I left the rest of my makeup on. There's a huge Zombie Walk going on today on the boardwalk, so people aren't looking at me like I'm strange, just like I'm really lame for not going far enough. I look intense, but not dead. Ha. Ahh, it's all about context, isn't it?
