Hartford, CT

Hey guys. So unfortunately no pictures today, but definitely some drama. We played two shows at the Lincoln Center Theater at the HARTT school, and although both shows may have gone well, there was a little drama back stage. It amazes me sometimes how easily stories and events can get misconstrued. It brings me back to the telephone game we used to play when we were kids. You know. The one where you whisper something in one person's ear and than see what happens 30 kids later? One of our poor castmates today got totally thrown under a bus for something that he/she didn't even do wrong, and of course the producer originally sides in with the venue, but then later retracts the comment and makes an apology. It just blows my mind how when you're touring, the littlest issues can sometimes become big meltdowns. I know I fall victim to it all the time! Like when I throw a fit because the SM can't mix our sound from the back of the house (hehehe).

So a word to the wise. Just always remember to take a deep breath before saying anything you might regret, or writing an email that could get misread, because once something is said or sent, it cannot be taken back...

Other than that, things were awesome. We stayed in an amazing hotel last night and had two fantastic shows that the kids really enjoyed. I really feel like I'm starting to blend in well with the cast. It's hard to believe that I've only known most of the people for 4 days!! I'm excited to see how this amazing show can grow and evolve with new castmates! :-)

Anywho, enjoy the blog, your night, and anything else worth enjoying. Until next time!
Mucho Love.

St. Patty's Day and The Morning After

Wow wow wow! So this tour is already a whirlwind! We played an elementary school yesterday that had a small, cute, little stage, but apparently they expected us to bring our own lights. :-\ The first of our two "one plank, two marley, demi-waukesha shows" (which means that there was a behind the wall setup) went extremely well! It was great to really be back in the swing of things and just realize I remember the show well enough to deal with any situation that may arise. Our cat wasn't feeling too well for the second show, so our ASM Prescott who played the cat previously, had to go in as The Cat in the Hat for the second show that day, so things were a little all over the place, but fantastic at the same time. After a hard load out we traveled to Lowell, MA where we rang in the Irish Holiday with corned beef and cabbage at an awesome, authentic Irish Pub. We also ran into the Freedom Train cast at the hotel, so Tom, a cast member, joined us at the pub. It was an amazing evening.

We performed two shows today in an amazing space that I remember playing when I was on tour last year. It was one of those places your remember because there were awesome lights and bagels. :-) Both shows with Prescott went really well and we had a fun and easy load out. We are now at a hotel in New Britain, CT and I'm getting read to have dinner with my step-sis so I must leave you, but more in the future. I'll leave you with some pictures! Mucho love!

First Day

So here I am. Immediate replacement and back out on the Seussical Tour. I left NYC this morning and performed 2 shows with now rehearsal, but this cast was amazing. They were so sweet and amazing and I really felt like they were all looking out for me. It was ironic that my first show with this cast was in Terrytown, NY, which is where the last show of my first tour took place, so I feel like it was coming around full circle. There isn't much to discuss at this point, but I am going to try VERY hard to be better at keeping this blog going, unlike my last tour. Until next time!
A-Ro.
