Shrek The Musical Week 3

WOW!!! It sure has been an exhausting week in the life of an actress. I may sound dramatic when I say this but I rehearsed for 24 hours this week and it's been a little bit rough... Haha! Either way it's still fun and I am LOVING what I do and what I do to contribute to the show. I  don't think I ever mentioned this, but I am actually 4 different characters in Shrek. Throughout the show I will have 4 different costumes but I will probably have about 7 costume changes. Crazy right? My roles are one of the 3 blind mice, a Duloc Dancer, a Tap Rat, and a cute little gnome. I cannot wait to really dive into the character development in this show!!! 

Speaking of character development, a show that stretched me in my character development skills was the Little Mermaid. If you remember I played Jetsam in this show along with Pricsilla Schmitt who played my counterpart Flotsam. She has been added to the cast if Shrek and we have been SO excited to work with one another again. She is so talented and definitely one if the sweetest people I know. (We had a little rehearsal-twinning so of course we had to take our signature pose😉) In shrek she will be playing a Woodland Being. 

In other news, at CHS I recently found some Shrek fever catching within the art students... 😏

Anyways, catch the Shrek fever for yourself and BUY TICKETS!!!!

Shrek: Week Two

It's officially week two, and I am overwhelmed with emotions. I am a crazy combination of sore, happy, excited, TIRED, and eager all wrapped up in one. We have set so many numbers, including a GIANT tap number and all the other big numbers in the show. Some of these are familiar tunes like What's up, Duloc? And I'm A Believer; some musical numbers used in the movie-version of Shrek. My newest favorite among these numbers we have choreographed would have to be Make a Move. It's a FABULOUS number featuring donkey and the three blind mice. Donkey's objective is to get Fiona and Shrek to confess their feelings for one another. Anyways, the number was actually choreographed tonight, and it's an awesome balance of difficulty and fabulousity💁 I absolutely CANNOT WAIT to kick things into high gear with this show.

Shrek: Week One

Well here we are again. Shrek dance rehearsals began this Sunday and I am more excited than ever!!! We have already learned so much and it is all so very upbeat, charming and fun that the audience won't help falling in love with it!! All thanks to the fabulous Lorianne Dunn, director and choreographer! She has helped us so much with this process already. She is in charge of making the rehearsal schedule, coordinating everyone, making sure everyone has at least a little bit of stage time, creating new choreography, blocking, and everything else that goes in to creating a show. She's awesome! Our dances are so professional looking already and we owe it all to her!!! Of course that means I've rehearsed for 20 hours this week and can barely walk because I'm so sore, but other than that it's been PERFECT! ;)
