A day late, and a dollar short I know, but I didn't have the chance to blog yesterday. The lyricist of High Fidelity, Amanda Green, was in the audience Friday night. Meeting her was one of the highlights of my existence. She was fantastic. She loved everything we did with the show, which is great because we love everything she wrote for the show. She is a beautiful woman and I was so grateful to get to meet her. I know I came across like a giggling fangirl, but she didn't seem perturbed by it, in fact, at the height of a squee she told me that I was just the cutest. I could have died of happiness right then. I'm gushing, I know, but it was just so freakin' cool. I will post more about this experience later but I am wanted onstage at church.
And a sidenote, it is entirely too early to be awake after a cast party. Yikes.
Peace, love, and rock 'n' roll,
Amanda

I would kill for a slab of bacon...
It is now Tuesday, June 24th and we are halfway through our run of High Fidelity. So far things have been amazing! We actually managed to sell out on Saturday which was incredibly exciting and we've got some pretty decent pre-sale going for the rest of the run.
The more and more we do this show the more I realize just how much fun it is. We've run this show so many times and I still laugh during "Conflict Resolution" and rock out backstage during "Goodbye and Good Luck." That, in my opinion, is the sign of a good show; you don't get sick of it. I'm actually finding myself sad that we only get to do it six more times. I guess I'll try to look at it glass half-full, we still have six whole performances we get to do.
I auditioned for Hair yesterday, and I think it went pretty well. Hopefully Hi-Fi will not be my last New Line experience. I have had such an amazing time during this show and I hope it will continue.
Peace, love and rock 'n' roll,
Amanda

High Fidelity Withdrawal
Forgive me Father for I have sinned, it has been two days since my last Hi-Fi show.
It is one thirty in the morning on Tuesday. I am sitting at my computer contemplating ways to make the next few days go faster. The first weekend of High Fidelity was amazing. I am so honoured to get to work with this cast and crew. They are an amazing group of people and I feel so blessed to have fallen in with them. Every time I get to perform with them it is an absolute joy. And therein lies the problem. Am I really expected to go Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday without doing this show? The fact is that sadly, yes, I am expected to last four days without Hi-Fi, and without the incredible energy that pours off the stage during the show.
So, fellow cast members, when you see me on Thursday I may appear to be but a hollow shell of my former self. But not to worry, I assure you that it will only take the first few chords of "Last Real Record Store" for me to be returned to my normal self. Until then,
Peace, love and rock 'n' roll,
Amanda

In Space
First rehearsal in the space tomorrow!!! Woo hoo!! It's going to mean a lot of adjusting but all in all I think that it will actually help us with the show. I think that getting in the performance space will get us more into the mood of the show, and it will bring it home to us that we're nearing opening night. (June 12th is quickly approaching people!!) I'll try and post again tomorrow after we've worked in the theatre.
Peace, love and rock 'n' roll,
Amanda
