[O Black Swan.]

          So we FINALLY started staging my first scene on Monday! Bring on the Men has to be choreographed, but the scene afterward where I hit on Jekyll is accomplished. ;) We blocked all the way through the end of Act I, so I also got the my staging for Alive, Sympathy-Tenderness and the scene where that happens, and Someone Like You. Woot! I also have the solo in the first Facade reprise and get to walk across stage with my hoes. ;D Today was a little disappointing, though. I look forward to B days because of Musical Theatre class, and when Tyler's there it makes it a lot more fun and less awkward... lol.
          Tomorrow a producer is coming to watch our ballet class and possibly picking a few of us for some dance thing at Woolaroc. Sounds cool, but I'm nervous. Tomorrow is also the magnet showcase, where I'm going to sing Monica's aria, The Black Swan, from the opera The Medium. Creepy-ass lyrics. I've spent all this afternoon trying to memorize the lyrics. Hope I don't forget onstage... eep.

          But it's late, so I should sleep. :) Wish me luck...

[The trap is set &waits

 for its prey.]

         Okay! So tomorrow is Monday and a B day!! - pleads to God that we start my staging! - Seriously, I wanna be a hoe!! xD A couple of plans didn't work out this weekend, though they did to their best ability, so I'm counting on tomorrow being really good. I reeeally need it to be after the things I've had to endure the past 2 weeks.
          I'm getting a little (a lot) weirded out as to one reason why I look forward to B days so much... it's just reeeally irking me. Because it's completely ridiculous, out of the question, unreasonable, undeniably BAD. Seriously guys, this is just sooooo not going to happen. It can't happen. I have my pride at stake here, and I'm not letting it go. But the fight is going to be a tiny bit harder than I anticipated.

          Other than that, I'm okay now. Friday found me completely hysterical sitting in the middle of a deserted, dark makeshift parking lot/dead end in the middle of north Tulsa. I was so scared! Let's just say that my grandma's GPS is demonic!! But I went to Central's football game after I got home safely and things got better. We're going to the playoffs!!! I just hope we beat Bishop Kelly. =/

          Well, I think that's about it. I certainly hope this week goes better... - sigh - Oh. Even though a girl my age totally shouldn't, I think I'm going to sing The Jewel Song from Faust at our school talent show. Bahahahaha.

Dates of J&H Changed!

[Give my regards to

 Broadway.]

          So yeah, you read the title right. The dates of Jekyll & Hyde are being changed to January 8th and 9th! I'm a little depressed because it means it's so much farther away, but it also means that I get to savour the time I get to experience it. Plus a couple of people I reallyyy need to be there will get to now that it's not so close to the holidays. (Who wants to hear and see a show about murder near Christmas, anyway? Haha) Plus the show is going to be in amazing shape by then. :) We ALMOST got to staging my scene today! UGH. lol. I would hope that we will on Monday, but the way things have been going, I'm not sure. I WANNA BE A HOE! xDDD
          Things have been a little rough for me over the past couple of days, as well as a couple of other kids in our cast. My problem hasn't disappeared--it's not going to--but I'm putting on a better happy face than I was, and things are a tiny bit better.

          Ok, the exciting news. I've been selected, one of only about 40 kids in the country, to attend the Making it on Broadway intensive camp in New York City!! :D <33 I'm still in a little bit of shock! There's a video on their website that will explain about it. It's AWESOME. I'll get to work with real Broadway professionals and stars! then at the end, I'll audition for actual Broadway casting agents! Dream come true much?

          I'll try another update soon, but things are crazy, so how soon that'll be, I'm not sure.

Much love,
Emily

Finally staging.

[Centre Stage.]

          Well HOLY CRAP. We actually started staging today! We got through Pursue the Truth, so next class we'll be starting with the Engagement Party. I imagine we might get to Bring on the Men by next Tuesday or Thursday. :D I'm sooo excited. That's why I haven't updated for awhile. We haven't been doing anything really different until now. Gah, thank God. I love staging. :) Hehe. I'm REALLY anxious to see how Bring on the Men, Alive, Dangerous Game, and my death scene go. EEEE :D I now have a running little "game" with the guy who's playing Jekyll/Hyde. BRING IT ON TYLER. Haha. I'm not going to really explain it on the internet, but I'll say right now that I'm going to win. Muahahaha. It's going to be pretty funny, especially when I up the stakes. I've gotta make it just a little bit more challenging for me or I'm just going to be bored. ;)

          I've got other MAJOR exciting news, but it's late so I'll write about it tomorrow.

Much love,
Emily

[It was the Monster Mash.]

          Went to Catherine's scary movie party tonight. Allllthough there wasn't much "scary" to it. Haha. We watched Repo, which is just epically awesome, and Drag Me to Hell, which was so bad it was hilarious. We seriously almost peed it was so funny. And we finished it off with a little of The Vampire Diaries. :) It was a good time. ;) I went as Velma Kelly from Chicago. Haha.

          I'm watching this really cheesy ghost show on the Chiller channel. I mean really cheesy. I'm going to hit the hay soon anyway--I have a callback for Dido and Aeneas tomorrow, err, today, technically. Thing is I haven't really had the time to learn the audition song very solidly. I feel bad, but J&H and the Youth Onstage benefit have me all over the place. I'm pretty stressed. Dido isn't until the spring, though. I'll have a little time to chill over Christmas.

          Mmk. I'm tired. But oh, funny thing. You know how I was out sick from school? Well apparently everybody FLIPPED and like 20 people told me "Omg I thought you were dead!" What? Hahaha.
