Wow, busy 4 weeks.

Just finished a run of Music Man up in Fremont. 4 weeks, Thursday *or Friday) through Sunday, 5-6 shows a weekend. It came out pretty good. I'm not a fan of cliche musicals, you know... Guy comes to town, meets girl, tries to get girl, girl turns him down, he keeps trying, she gives up and falls for him. Meh. But the music itself is really good, and the cast was great.

That being said, here's something I've learned over the years. Even if you don't like what you are playing (or doing) (and I did this time, a lot, just saying...) put your all into it and do it the best you can. Show up early, leave late, help whenever you can. Be friendly to everyone. It's that simple. You don't get anything extra in the end, but the whole process, and the run itself, is so much more enjoyable when you and the people around you are happy and not stressed.

And, you complements like, "Erik, you are a directors DREAM!" That made my day. And, of course, the invite to play Les Miserables over the summer. Good stuff.

That all being said, this musical is done. Next weekend starts rehearsals for Sweet Charity in Saratoga, with a weekend of Once Upon a Mattress for a friends high school program mixed in there somewhere.

So yeah, mix that with both symphonies and the bone choir, and I'll be playing a metric shit ton this Spring, and hopefully into summer.

So, here I sit watching the rain (it's getting effing old, folks in charge of weather), sipping tea, listening to some 3 Dog Night (how did I just discover them?) and enjoying 2 days off. In a row! Of course, it will be 2 days of catching up on all the stuff I didn't do the last 4 weeks, but still. It will be nice to do them on my own schedule.

Maybe some naps will also be in order.



Now if only the rain would stop so I could get out on the bike.
asphalt:
Local theater and musicals can be so fun! Went to Saratoga (I think) couple months ago to see The Producers and it was amazing compared to the lame ass movie version. Didn't hurt that my friend played a granny. :-)
