Sense of smell is a key component in dance.

How true is that! Often, the smellier dancers will be sectioned off to dance next to me. And boy oh boy, with the last show there were a couple rank menehunes.... or so I hear.
:D

Ok. I'm having some anxiety with this show. I'm the villain and in charge of a lot of humor in the show. I'm feeling the pressure. We haven't finished blocking Act II yet and it kinda worries me. We open on the 24th. 2 weeks.

Breathe breathe breathe.

I didn't want to post this on FB because I just know there are people out there who want to see me bomb this part. Luckily, they're not my friends but word does get around...

You've got lucky horse shoes - how can you go go wrong? ;)

You'll be great I'm sure it's just a little pre-show jitters.

I swear those are working. Totally. :)
You're right. What your part is big, it can be a handful. *




*That was a freebie for Kevy. I was also thinking of typing 'it can be a lot to swallow' and 'there's a lot riding on it'.
:D

I want to see you bomb ... and leave Hawaii in disgrace ... and have to stow away on a tramp steamer bound for Los Angeles ... only to be discovered in the hold and given a choice between being thrown overboard or being the first mate's cabin boy for the duration.

(That part's to make the story more palatable to you ... I just want you back in L.A.)

You're screwed

So, right around this time (the 1 week before opening mark), I get what I call adrenaline blasts. Like when I'm working or doing non-theatre shenanigans, I think about the play for one second and boom adrenaline shoots all over. A little bit of anxiety, stress and happy anticipation all mixed in one. Today has been adrenaline city for me.

Breathe breathe breathe.

I believe those are called anxiety attacks
