Cal-E-forn-I-A!

"You need to update your blog site
'cause to Vegas you've said goodnite.
LA is hosting the gig of Frankenstein
so bolts in the neck are totally in line
and ta-tas still need to be kept out of sight!"

Well, I have officially moved out of Vegas and into Huntington Beach, CA. We have had one week of rehearsal and so far it is going great!  The cast is really nice, the choreography is super fun and the costumes are beautiful!  It feels so nice to be back in a musical; singing, dancing and acting.  I have really missed it.  Not that I'm not extremely thankful for my time on the Celebrity Solstice and in Jubilee!, but there is nothing like a belting, high-kicking, comedic musical.  Here are some pictures from my first week in California.

"Young Frankenstein" rehearsals begin!

The ensemble girls matched without knowing it!

Finally, I went out to dinner with my friend Jamie Kennedy in Hollywood and had my first celebrity citing! Josh Hutcherson plays Peeta Melark in the popular "Hunger Games" movies.  Here is a picture of him and the picture I secretly snapped!

He is the one in the green baseball hat. 

You can't really tell from this picture, but I promise it was him!

Jubilee Finale!

Well, here it is.  I am officially done my 6 month contract with Jubilee! I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity.  I have made some wonderful friends and amazing memories!  But now, on to the next adventure...

...I am happy to announce that I have been cast in Young Frankenstein with Musical Theatre West in Long Beach, CA.  It is a 6 week contract that starts next week.  I am very happy to be getting back to the world of musical theater.  My parents are flying to LA to see my last weekend of shows and then my dad and I will start our cross-country journey back to the Great State of Maine!  I am so looking forward to it!
