C'mon opening night~

God been working such long hours after school and over the weekend. Feel exhausted. It's basically hell week for the drama club as the set is close to finished, the dances are being finalized and we have a week and four days till the opening night of The Boyfriend. God nothing can express my pure joy and happiness when I don't have to stay after for two and a half hours building and painting. Here's the title song for those who have no clue about the musical.

Fun fact of the day: This was the first musical that Julie Andrews performed in playing the role of Polly Browne. And this musical is just adorable beyond belief. I heard the film adaptation wasn't that great but if you're part of the drama department and have no clue what to put on for a musical, I recommend this one! It's just so amazing!

I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that this week I accomplish in recruiting people for backstage crew since we need to change the set entirely in between the three acts. I've stopped trusting the sign up sheets with the drama kids on them cause I know that after my little rage fest with the set building, I'm not trusting these backstage kids will show up either. So I'm recruiting myself. Maybe I can get some of my friends to do something on their weekends.

Here's another song from the musical called Won't You Charleston With Me?

And just cause I'm crazy, this is an optional song for the musical called Nicer in Nice.

This is the solo song my sister has as she is the French maid, Hortense. It's gonna be awesome!!

Let's see....plans for this week.

Oh yeah we have our high school exit exams or CAHSEEs which will be a no brainer seeing as how it's basic algebra and English. Problem is I'm probably gonna get bored out of my mind since the likely chance says I will be done like an hour or two early and my teachers will avoid assigning homework since we also have a block schedule too... God I so don't want to spend two hours in just one class... Whatever.. Hopefully my Spanish teacher will get some sense this week and change the due date of our project where we have to research Mexican culture. I did mine on the Olmecs.

And now I will do research for my story idea! Ta ta!

Nicer, much nicer in Nice

Another slow week has come and is going with the rainy season finally coming in. Guess this means more weekends of hot chocolate and laziness.

Drama has held its auditions for The Boyfriend and has the cast list ready and rehearsals have commenced! Well... We do have an issue with the fact that only 7 boys auditioned and the play needs 8 boys to play the male roles, plus an understudy for all the male parts. But we gotta make do with what we have now until we get two more boys in cause we only have till mid-March when the musical opens. Marina auditioned and got a part as the French maid, Hortense; a role she really wanted. She has her own song and gets to sing in a French accent. Practicing already, she sounds amazing.

Okay, for those who have no clue what this musical is, The Boyfriend takes place in carefree French Riviera in the 1920's. It focuses around the girls of the Villa Caprice and their, well kinda obvious as the title says, boyfriends.

I've only read the plot on Wikipedia as I've only heard of this musical a few months ago and have never seen it. But from the sounds and looks of it I've seen on Youtube, it's a very cute musical. And a long one too; Three acts.

We still need A LOT of crew for this musical which I'm hoping we get more people to sign up in the next week or two. I signed up for costume crew and hopefully we get to do some fun stuff with the costumes with it being set in the 1920's.

As of now, Miss Brown wants us to go public straight away and have posters up and what not. I may have poster board and nothing to do this weekend so I've volunteered myself to making a poster or two for the front of the PAC.

So hopefully in these next two months we make this a great musical.

Time to go back to watching Nostalgia Critic.

XOXO,
