when the dawn comes tonight will be a memory, too
I'm such an obsessive person. 9 months after the musical revue ended, and I'm still posting about it and how much I miss it and how amazing it was. But honestly, that's only because it really WAS amazing. The premiere was yesterday, so I got to see it all again and remember everything again.
I remember the adrenaline rush that didn't leave for the whole 2 hour show.
I remember frantic costume changes and panics that I wouldn't get done in time.
I remember being proud that I never missed a cue.
I remember the dead feeling in the air at the end of each rehearsal.
I remember the alive feeling at the beginning of each rehearsal.
I remember Osha root throat spray.
I remember 2 dairy-free weeks.
I remember IHOP, and the wonderful conversations that took place there.
I remember thinking that we would never be ready.
I remember feeling that the musical would never end.
I remember when sleeping and eating were few and far between.

Goodness, I miss that play. So very much. It was so good.

After the premiere was over we went to see I Am Legend. Probably the most depressing movie I've ever seen. Then we went to Jim's. They have exceptional hot chocolate, and soup. Perfect for 40 degree weather.
"Little Lotte, where is your scarf?"

So yes, it was a fun day. Tiring, but fun. I love my friends.

"Look! Cocaine! Peppermint flavored for the holidays!"

Now I'm off to clean the sister's house. Fun stuff.

"Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun"

  • If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to ’scape the serpent’s tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends.
