Another Openin’ Another Show!

Gosh, I haven’t posted in forever.  Sorry about that.  I missed travel blogging a trip to Orlando where we drove back stopping in Biloxi on the way back.  I also passed through Beaumont, TX to pay my respects to the final resting spot of the real Big Bopper, JP Richardson.

Since my last post, I have been in rehearsals for a two week run of Stephen Sondheim’s FOLLIES the concert version.  I am playing Roscoe, who sings Beautiful Girls at the top of the show.  It is truly an amazing cast and I am humbled in their presence.  I hope I can try to hold a candle to the amazing performances happening on that stage.  The high A at the end of my song is trying to ruin me, though.  I used to have that note solid….then I got older.  I am trying to muster up a blended falsetto…but so far it is not happening.  Tomorrow we open.  So, hopefully the gods of Sondheim will send their good graces to GLCT tomorrow night.

I am hoping to put together a quick weekend trip later this month.  I kind of want to do some Broadway since there are so many new shows to see.  If anyone has any suggestions on where I might go or what I might do…let me know!

Until then, come see me at the FOLLIES!
