Well well, New York City you say? We made it! We really made it! The drive up was fun, though I really should’ve gone over my lines for She Stoops, but that can be done while we’re here. Sorry Sommer! We hit a little bit of traffic outside of the Lincoln Tunnel, but once we got past it we were on our way! The hotel is really nice, I’m super happy about it. It’s right near Times Square, and there’s a great little store around the corner for all our random needs.
Tonight we saw Spring Awakening, and I absolutely loved it. I have the soundtrack, and adore it, but hearing it within the play made it that much better. The story held me so captive that I was actually upset about intermission. I read a little bit of the play, but I definitely want to go back and read it again. My favorite character was Melchior, because so much happened to him and he didn’t succumb to anyone else’s opinions. I totally respected that. I liked Moritz’s character, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the actor himself. While I understand that he needed to be the same as the actor that he replaced, I think that Gregg was right that he hadn’t made the other actor’s choices his own. Everything was awesome. The movement and the choreography was fantastic and really gave it something extra.
I’m incredibly excited about meeting people soon! It’s gonna be really fun. There’s also the fact that I get to run around the city and see all the amazing stuff that this place has to offer. Tomorrow I’ll be calling a couple of people to confirm appointments. Here we go!
