Almost on Island Time
Has it really been two months since my last post? Quite a bit has happened, but I’ll just hit the high points. The end of rehearsals went by quickly. We learned our last show in less than two weeks, cleaned … Continue reading
Another Adventure
At long last, I am back in Miami for rehearsals! I’ve actually been back for a few weeks, but got so caught up in whirlwind of activity I was unable to write. Please forgive me! Rehearsals on a Thursday, so … Continue reading
Crepe Day
To celebrate a friend’s birthday on Sunday, I put together a small group for brunch. At the recommendation of a local friend, we went to La Bonne Crepe on Las Olas Boulevard. We were seated instantly, which is always a … Continue reading

So Long, Farewell
As the end of the rehearsal period neared, it seemed as though we had only just begun. Things I needed to do and people I needed to see had to be taken care of quickly! The final weekend I spent … Continue reading
Work Hard, Play Hard
Seeing as I like to maintain a work/play balance, I’ve been spicing up this rehearsal process with some fun outings. Some (at least one) were educational and inspiring, some were extremely unhealthy, and some were simply necessary. Here’s the run-down … Continue reading
Ready to Run
The past few weeks have flown by! I’m down to just 2 weeks of rehearsals before joining the ship. At the end of our third week, the cast did our Office Run. We performed the fairy tale show at the … Continue reading

The Final Countdown
Big news! There is just over one week left until we leave for the ship!
Last week was packed with excitement. We finished learning our third and final show, and did our first run through. I have to be honest, this show is hard! It is the most technically demanding show I’ve done with the company, and also requires a lot of stamina. When I get more comfortable with the choreography, I think I will enjoy it a lot, but at the moment, I feel somewhat overwhelmed! I appreciate the challenge, though.
Something to smile about! Puss in Boots stopped by rehearsal!
4 other casts left to join their ships last week. A few days before they left, each cast performed one of their shows at the studio. It was great to see what the other casts have been doing! The studios will be lonely this week without them. Other casts arrive at the end of the week, right before we leave!
Gloria is leaving us, too!
Last weekend, the my cast got together for a barbecue by the pool. It was so nice to spend time with my new “family” outside of the studio. I feel lucky to be with such a great group of people!
Cast barbecue
Two cast members had birthday last week, so we had a couple nights of celebrations. I’m already trying to come up with theme ideas for my birthday. It’s less than 3 months away! Theme suggestions are welcome!
With the birthday girl
I’ve spent my Sunday sitting around and relaxing. I’ll need a lot of energy this week! We’ll be running all 3 shows and cleaning them up. Friday, we perform the Vegas show at the studio. I can’t believe the rehearsal period is already coming to a close!
