Great news! I will be working on a new musical with the super creative and innovative folks at Lookingglass. (See my previous post about how much I loved auditioning for them.) The show is called "Eastland" and is a musical about the stories of the 1915 Eastland Disaster of Chicago. The music will be in the American folk ballad genre. I can't wait to get the script and score.

The show will be presented in early April in Millenium Park. It will be a thrill!

First post of the new year! It has already been a busy audition season here in Chicago. There are so many great theatres holding season general auditions this month. I attended the Drury Lane generals and I'm so excited about their new season, whether I am involved or not. Sweeney Todd, Sound of Music, and Gypsy!? I'd love to snag roles in any of those shows, but if not, I will definitely be in the audience. I fell in love with Drury Lane while doing Christmas Carol this past season, and I would love love love to work for them again. And not just because you get free food from the steam table at lunch break (but that IS a big plus in my book, hehee.) Free food? What!? Yes, please. That and the fact that Drury Lane has been putting on some top notch shows the past few years. I can't wait to see Spamalot, which is currently playing.
