Sweet Charity

The winter musical this year is Sweet Charity, and as I'm considering auditioning, I saw it on DVD today. It felt as long as Gone With The Wind! Vittorio looks like an interesting role, but I really hope they cut down on some of the dance numbers, particlarly The Rich Man's Frug.

Then there's the concern of total male roles. I can think of at least four significant male parts and only two, maybe three musical theater guys including myself. Oh, I said that already. Hmph. Well, it'll probably get worked out somehow.

Why do you all get to do musicals? Not fair in the least. I've always wanted to be in a musical.

Well actually... now that we have Mr.Dejong we might have some.

He's so funny, a chem/drama teacher. He always calls me a hippie :)

He wants me to be in the next main stage. It’s going to be wild! It’s about a crazy family and a kid who doesn't know if they are a guy or a girl, because the parents decided to let them choose. It’s a comedy. I just hope that I’m done with applications before the auditions...

Heh, that sounds funny. I miss Mr Dejong! Every morning he'd say something stupid to me. (his classroom was right next to my morning class)
You'd be good as the kid. Although, dahling, I think you are far too pretty and feminine to play a gender-confused kid. Actually... that was my upbringing. Heh. And I'm still kinda like that. When I was young, people kept on saying things like "Oh, he's so handsome!" and "Would you like to play with some trucks?"

Integrity said...

How could people have thought you were a boy!?

Crazy blind people.

Remember when we drew the gender-confused whale shark? And you drew a bow on it... and you explained that a bow always means a girl?

Well there was this mom once who had a little kid. She said people mistook her as a boy. She put a bow on her so no one would get it wrong. So what you said was totally right. You should have just worn a bunch of bows.

Actually now that I think about it, once I went to the park and there was this little boy there. I was with some friends and one of them said, "Hey guys," to get our attention. The little boy (who I had been talking to) put his hands behind his back, did that cute little rocking thing, and said, "are you a boy or a girl?" so no one has ever mistaken me for a boy, but I WAS asked to clarify...

Lilith said...

Oh dear lord... You see, now that I'm older, I look more feminine. But even now, sometimes I get mistaken for a boy. I think it's the air force pants and baggy t-shirts.

Oh dear me... we seem to have strayed from the topic... :D Sorry Peter. We shall stop now.

Integrity said...

Hehe, Yeah. I think it's funny that I’m commenting... I mean I know more of you than I don't know... well I know Lilith from 8th grade yay! And I know Lilly because I Know Julia, I mean Juju, I mean Kiele... heh. So know I know Lilly too. Hooray!

But I don't know you, Peter... and this is your blog and everything, which I enjoy reading by the way. You’re a great writer, and you like to write form the looks of it. Hi.

Lilith said...

*hangs head* you fail so bad Integrity... *kiss*

Peter said...

Hi, Integrity. I love how we all either know each other or have mutual friends. I need to read your blog some more.

Integrity said...

Sure. You do.

Yeah and I did a complete double take when I saw Lilly because I was just with her before I read your blog for the first time. I was like, oh it’s another person named Lilly… then I saw the flower and thought, hmm… and another Lilly that has a calalily on her profile…

I still didn’t think it was the same Lilly until I read about aikido. Then I BELIEVED!!!

After that I started hitting myself and running in circles before I found a dark corner and curled into the fetal position to contemplate this small, small world.

Where is my lip balm?

Oh, there it is.

ACK! How did Kiki not introduce me to Lilly?! How did YOU not intro me to her?!?!?!?!
