Its Thursday,July 14th and ALOHA SAY THE PRETTY GIRLS opens tonight at Victory Hall in Jersey City, NJ. Are we ready? HELL NO.
Am I excited? Yes.
Am I nervous? I am too damn busy to be nervous.
I know I say this all the time, but my life has been balls to the walls crazy this week and now that I'm hours away from opening the show,I feel like I'm losing mind. I'm tired, frazzled and confused. I've been trying to juggle all my rehearsals this week with all my ZICO work with an under-five on ONE LIFE TO LIVE (Which I actually ended up passing on because my call-time to be on set turned out to be 6:30PM, which is what time my dress rehearsal for the show was scheduled. Its partly my fault for taking the job without asking about the call-time. I assumed they would shoot in the daytime and I would be ok for my 7PM dress. I MUST place some fault with the ABC casting director for not CLARIFYING with me. I find it hard to believe that she hasn't had this problem a dozen times before me. Every other Soap in New York shoots during daytime hours. Anyway, aint doin a GODDAMN under-five on ONE LIFE TO LIVE this week), my Dog has decided to get sick this week,so he's peeing all over the apartment before I get a chance to take him out, and my landlord has been busting my balls, so I had to go meet with him and bring him a $4000 money order (Nobody's fault but mine), plus a handful of other annoying and inconvenient occurances. All this crap going on with 4 hours of sleep every night. You cant possibly imagine the insanity I feeling right now.Its not just me either. The strange thing is, everyone in the cast and crew has had an insane week on top of all the late rehearsals. We are all on the verge of a nervous breakdown and running on fumes. Last night's dress rehearsal was a rehearsal that should have happened three or four days ago. We were scattered and disorganized with "I need to break down and cry" episodes popping up all over the place.That being said...The show is Freakin AMAZING. Its a really fun piece of theater. The writing is funny, forward thinking and imaginative. The acting is wonderful AND we got AIR CONDITIONING!!
So come see the show or I'll hunt you down and kill you.
