Hi all!
Welcome to the very first article of my first ever blog! Mom thought it would be a good idea to do this while I was on tour for all of you to follow along on my adventures…and I figured, after a month on the road already, it's about time I started it. =)
For those of you who don't know, I'm currently playing Glinda on the national tour of The Wizard of Oz. Here's a little preview for you:
A recap of our journey thus far: we started rehearsals in New York City September 13th, then left for Claremore, Oklahoma for tech on September 23rd. We had our first preview there September 27th, and then traveled to Fort Worth, TX for a 4-show weekend. From there we went north to Sioux Falls, SD (stopping in Kansas City on the way!) for two shows...and after that is when the real adventure started!
We found out very last minute that we were about to embark on a week and a half break...long story short, there was some miscommunication with the booking agency and a bunch of shows didn't get confirmed, so they decided to reschedule the few that did for later in the tour and send us home...surprise! Never a dull moment out here. =)
We just got back yesterday and have gotten right back into the swing of things! We reopened tonight in Greeneville, TN, and head to Henderson, KY tomorrow; then on to Byron Center, MI; and finally, Cleveland for the weekend! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
Over the next few months I'll be posting pictures and tidbits from the road, and this week I'll recap our first few cities in more detail. In the meantime, you can check out my newly renovated website:
...and the tour's website, for schedule, cast pictures/bios, and other info:
Hope to see you all out there...somewhere in America!
