Jersey Boys
I know. It's been a while again, but I've been laid up with a fractured foot but that hasn't stopped me from going to theatre. Today I went to "Jersey Boys". We had the alternate for Frankie but he was absolutely amazing. He actually liked the tweet I sent him during intermission. He liked it almost immediately. Speaking of almost, I almost ugly cried when the overture started. I almost ugly cried when Frankie made his first entrance. The audience was a screaming bunch after every song. I did not want it to end. This was the last day of the San Diego engagement. Next up, Los Angeles with Mark Ballas as Frankie Valli!

Back To Business
I know. I know. It has been a while but I've been so busy with coursework and of course going to theatre but I have so much to blog about now. A couple weeks ago I went to go see Macbeth at Carlsbad High School (my alma mater) and I am so happy to say that it was AMAZING! Congrats to the director and I can't wait to see her production of "The Drowsy Chaperone" this Thursday evening.
Also, last weekend I had the privilege of being in Balboa Park for the 12th Annual Student Shakespeare Festival sponsored by the San Diego Shakespeare Society. Big shout-outs go to Carlsbad High School, Sage Creek High School, Aviara Oaks Middle School and all other schools that took home prizes on Saturday. It was a highly competitive event and all performances were amazing.
Oh, and the biggest event of the theatre lover's year just happened...the Tony Award nominations. I'm very thrilled for all the nominees. Go Stephanie J. Block (love my "Wicked" alumni). However, I'm a little bit bummed out that my favorite "fly girl" (those who watch the "Wicked" backstage blogs will get the reference), Lindsay Mendez, was not nominated for "Significant Other." Congrats, of course, to the divine Bette Midler and the sublime Eva Noblezada on their nods for "Hello Dolly" and "Miss Saigon" respectively, and also, of course, to legends Patti LuPone and Christine Ebersole for "War Paint." You can see Kevin Spacey and all of Broadway's best and brightest on the Tony Awards this June only on CBS.
I promise there will be a review of "The Drowsy Chaperone" later in the week...
