Who's up for a birthday-celebratory trip to the Renfest on Sunday?
Just now back from consecutive voice lesson + first chorus rehearsal for La Cage. I am going to have a hernia by the performance, but I make a better drag queen than any of the boys (there are two, out of eight Cagelles). It was exercise, and I didn't even notice! I worked up a sweat and got out of breath and felt reasonable for doing so.
The choreography is unreasonably tame for a cabaret, because they'd scare half the chorus off the production if they did the things they oughta do (like, on the line "Muscles and Tits" grab or even point to someone else's instead of your own). None of these people are theater people. It may have been a long time since I associated with them, and even longer since I've been one, but I know them when I see them, and these ain't them. It's a pity, cause extroversion has such advantages in performance. It's easier for me to go all out, lose any semblance of dignity, and become something completely unlike me, because, hey! It's unlike me! It's acting. It's easy. Just because I have never swung my hips provocatively in my life doesn't mean I can't.
Anyway, it's probably going to be a mediocre show, but it'll be fun, and there's drag, so you all have to come.
