Vegas!

Hello again from California! Well...it has been quite a week! I officially started back to rehearsals last Monday and we actually started choreography for our show On the Air on Thursday. It is great to finally be in the studio working on making these shows come to life!

Also, I'm not the only person from my cast anymore! YAY!! Two dancers that are in my cast arrived on Wednesday and they are so sweet and really fantastic dancers! Audrey is on her 2nd contract and just moved here from Vegas where she was in a show all of last year and Marissa is joining us for her 5th contract with Stiletto and she is from Ohio. I'm so glad to have them here!

On Saturday Stiletto took 3 of the casts that are here rehearsing right now to see Barry Manilow in LAS VEGAS!! We took a charter bus there at 10am, had dinner at the Hilton, saw Barry ($200 seats...free...wow!), and then had 3 hours to play in Vegas before we got back on the bus to head home. It was fantastic!! Exausting...yes, but GREAT! It was so much fun bonding with the people from other casts and we even got to go backstage and meet Barry after the show. It was especially nice for me because the wonderful people at Stiletto let Jake come and he got to do everything for free too:) So...needless to say...after a crazy day trip I am pooped and am heading to bed! Love you and miss you all!!!!<3

Week 1!!

Well...I'm officially settled in LA now! It's been a crazy and wonderful first week of rehearsals. I quickly realized that I am in a unique situation for this rehearsal process. I am the only singer for my cast that is here for rehearsals at this time so I am learning my shows with the Amsterdam cast. The kids in the Amsterdam cast have all been super nice and have been great about having a stray cast member join their numbers:) We started last Wednesday with vocal rehearsals and have spent a day on each show learning harmonies and working on solos. I also have gotten some individual time with the vocal coaches to work on my extra shows and that's really been great! I must say that the coaches and choreographers here really know their stuff!
We also have gotten to watch 2 complete run throughs of the brand new shows for the vista class ships (the really really big ships!!) and wow are they fun!!

The Amsterdam cast is spending this week learning a show that I'm not doing so I have a week off to explore LA and spend more time working with vocal coaches (it's a pretty awesome deal!) It has really been wonderful having a Jake out here in LA...he's been making the 30 min drive down to my appartment to take me out to play in Hollywood and we are trying to get a trip to Disneyland planned for this weekend...I can't wait!:)

I'll put pictures up soon!

Love<3
