My Kinda Town!

Okay, so we opened. Big deal right? WRONG! I have to admit I was rather worried about this show for awhile. It is very complex and it seemed like it was taking forever to come together. It wasn't until our final rehearsal that I was convinced we may actually pull this off. Then we opened.

It went great. They were trepidatious at first but they got into it and soon they were laughing with us! But to be honest.. that is boring for you readers and I hate as much as anyone when the writer goes into any diatribes on any particular topic so I am just gonna say it went very well.

The real reason for my blog is what happened at Friday's show. It hummed along and it was a great show. So we are doing the curtain call when the music all the sudden stops! All of us look dumbfounded (not unusual for my dear friend Isabel, but I digress) Then Nick (Senator Fipp) starts giving a nice little speech about how he's been doing theater awhile and how he met his best friend Aaron doing theater etc. So here I am thinking Nick is getting ready to announce he is moving and that this will be his last show with Newline...BUT WAIT!

So then he says he met a great girl when he was doing some Shakespeare show (the title isn't important to the story so I won't bore you with which one. I'm sure it was Shakespearean...thats all you have to know) and then he introduces this girl to the audience (we all knew who it was-- all of us but Isabel again..poor dear) That girl is Amy who plays Little Sally. And then he proceeds to get on one knee and proposes to her right there on stage!

How fucking great is that? My Nick! The guy I kissed in Spiderwoman (and yes he was very good...Amy's a lucky chick). The audience was in tears.... hell WE were in tears (and I thought I was hardened against the bullshit that is love, but i digress again). So Urinetown will always be a special show for everyone who knows the happy (at least they look like they are) couple, but for Nick and Amy it will be the most special show and I feel so honored to have been there and been a part of the beginning of their life journey (boy that sounded hippyesque didn't it?).

So to Nick and Amy... congrats! I wish you both the best of luck and I know that together you will be able to overcome any obstacles that get in your way. Hold onto what you have and never take it for granted or let it slip away! I just hope to get an invite to the wedding (I give great gifts)!

P.S. Come see the show. It's good.

Now you can go back to surfing for porn! I know I am! HBH
