Hey guys! Summer seems to be flying by! I just wanted to write a brief post to update everyone on my life! I moved back Midtown and I'm loving it! My building is wonderful and everyone is so friendly. I actually just found out that one of the girls on my floor replaced Sutton Foster in Young Frankenstein (cool, right?) After all of the fun I had doing the two workshops of High School Musical 2 for Disney last year I couldn't wait to jump back into auditioning this year! I was luck enough to do a reading of a new show called Bathory and got to work with Mark Hartman (the musical director of Avenue Q). Bathory was a really cool experience and I LOVED the people that I worked with (everyone was INSANELY talented). Caitlin Kinnunen (Spring Awakening), Matt Leisy, and Alyssa Malgeri (Hairspray) were three of the leads and really made this rock! Less then a week after Bathory ended I booked a workshop of a new show called PUNK which played at the York Theatre. Punk was also an awesome experience, but in a completely different way than Bathory. Punk had a fun rock score and every rehearsal felt like a jam session. The process was so laid back which helped me grow very comfortable with everyone very quickly. Now that PUNK is over, I'm auditioning again and awaiting the first day of school (September 8th! SO soon!). I'm currently in callbacks for a NYMF show called Fat Camp. I don't know if you have heard of it but it's HILARIOUS. I got to do a dance call for it this past Saturday and the choreography is excellent! Regardless of if I book it or not, this is DEFINITELY one I will be seeing. I also recently started going to Broadway Sessions on Tuesday nights at Therapy (52nd btwn 8th and 9th). My dear friend Ben Cameron hosts this crazy Broadway variety show and it is absolutely fantastic!! I've also recently been introduced to the music of Katie Thompson and Bobby Cronin..their music is very different but both INCREDIBLE in their own way. Also..you NEED to hear Katie sing...her voice is UNREAL!!! Oh and as usual..I'm OBSESSED with True Blood! They just released an actual drink called Tru Blood..I NEED to try it! Anyway, hope all is well with everyone!!
XOXO,
Sami
