Intense...

Today, during our lunch break, I actually fell asleep on the stage manager's desk and managed to drool all over her call sheets.  Now I am sure to be her favorite cast member!  Rehearsals have been incredibly intense, but I have finally been released from the Lucia chorus, so I don't really feel like I get to complain.  And all the other principles seem as wiped as I am, so at least I know that the professionals are finding all these rehearsals a bit intense as well.  What makes this rehearsal process so exhausting is that the show has a ton of gags, dance numbers and patter songs, so you can never really let your guard down.  Plus I am on stage with two of the most brilliant actors ever to grace the stage, so I have to put in that extra effort to keep up with them.

Toto, we aren't in the MIT Gilbert and Sullivan players anymore....and thank God for that.
