06:26: still have a hang-over from this weekend. the show is amazing! on the way home after press preview, i cried. haha! talk about drama! but really... again, i got that rare feeling of sheer joy. the kind that makes you think you could die right there at that moment. god, i love my life.
opening night was even better. saturday highlighted my new favorite male singer as jimmy early. everyone was tired by sunday, but the quality of the performance didn't drop. the crowd still raved, everyone still loved etoile. that girl is amazing, i tell ya. blows my mind everytime!
sunday was a very long day, but it was probably the best day i had all week. it took us over an hour to strike everything but the lights, speakers and the revolve. we had to cram all we could into the little storage area in the production room, then we sent the rest of the stuff to the office. after all that, i had dinner with silk. i was tired enough to head home, but the lure of chicago was just too strong...
i found out that some of the cast were staying to watch chicago. there was no way i was gonna pass on this one. and man, am i glad i didn't! no theatre person should miss this movie. it wasn't as visually arresting as moulin rouge, but it's just as good. even better, i think. it's more real, more cynical, more fast-paced. it hardly gives you time to breathe, and when it does, you forget that it's a movie and you feel like breaking into applause.
a few of us went for dessert after the movie. oi. bizu... i had one bite of their chocolate truffle and i felt like i had died and gone to heaven!
