Super proud of myself for this one. 💃🤗
The toughest part of being an emergency replacement is the unseen work that has to be done out of rehearsal hours. Literally every waking moment is dedicated to learning lines, harmonies, lyrics, blocking, and choreo.
It’s exhausting, it’s frustrating, it feels hopeless at times, but with hard work (and the incredible help of .with.greg 🫶🏻), I was able to pull it off. There were a lot of learning tears, deep breaths, bravery, and even a puke and rally. But we do it because theatre lives in our souls. It’s the hardest, most challenging, fun, and most rewarding job out there. Even if the circumstances are less than ideal.
Huge thanks to the cast for shoving with love and accepting a new player with two weeks of the run left. To This will always be your role, girl. Loved every second of you when I saw the show, and I knew coming into this that I had some huge shoes to fill. 💕
This weekend is your last chance to see this incredible show.
If for nothing else, you must come see SHINE!!! Seriously, this woman is perfection in the role of Elle.
MANY more thanks to:
