Sold Out!

42nd Street is officially sold out! During the interval of watching Never the Sinner last night, my fellow 42nd Streeter, Chris Eaton, told me that the final four performance of 42nd Street have sold out. How good is that?! :)

We had a pretty good Sunday matinee, too. We got a standing ovation! How sweet is that! The show has been going pretty good for me lately, after probably Friday night. I blitzed the opening routine, which put me in a fantastic mood for the rest of the show. Even Saturday night's opening seemed easier now that I'd actually blitzed an opening.

So I'm not throwing up before curtain opening anymore.. hehe I think I'm finally really enjoying each moment of it, by final night I probably *will* be a blubbering mess 'cos I'll be missing everyone.

Oh a similiar theatre note, I spoke to a *fantastic* musical director the other night, who'd been told about my intent to direct a show at the Hills next year. Of course, no one can talk about *which* show until the rights have been secured, but I told her anyway and she was very eager. I was most honoured, firstly because she's just fabulous, but secondly that she said she saw my performance, was very impressed with my style and acting, so she has utmost confidence in me to do the show. How good did I feel? :)

So yeah, everything theatrewise is looking pretty good. I ordered the book, the DVD and the vocal score for that show from Amazon, and that arrived the other day, which was great. Sat and read the book, then watched the DVD. I can't believe I have to wait until second show next year to put it on. Oh well, knowing me, it'll be blocked, the set will be designed, the poster will be done, and the programme will be ready for printing, all by the end of this year.. hehe It's my first show, I can't be too prepared! :)

I also spoke to a number of friends and important-type people about directing a play for the Adelaide Feast Festival this year. I ended up seeing the director out in a pub on Friday night, so we chatted then, so that's looking pretty good. Just have to find a company to produce.

Yay! I'm all theatre excited :)
