The Miserable Ones

 I'm going to be on a bit of a serious note for this one. Sorry to disappoint.


Les Miserables.
It's kinda been my life for the last 3 months.
Consuming my every waking moment... and some of my sleeping ones too.
I love it.
And this weekend are our final performances. I can't bear to lose it.
I'm going to cry closing night.
I'm going to feel so empty without it.
Every show you do is different. They have a different environment, a different feeling with each one. And this one... Has changed my life. I'd like to say thank you to everyone involved. Thank you techies for your speedy mic changes and always being so on top of all the set changes. Thank you to Mamma Wygant and to Bauer. Without you this show couldn't have been possible. Thank you for giving me the opprotunity to be part of something so wonderful. Thank you to A^K for being the best stage manager anyone could have asked for. And thank you to my fellow cast members. I love you all. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to have the expierence I've had. I've made so many new friends and so many old friendships have been rekindled... Thank you.

I owe so much to this play and I didn't even realize any of it until opening night when A^K told us how Les Mis has changed her life and how we've been the best cast and crew she could've asked for. She told us how she loved us all so much and how she couldn't have asked for a better senior year. And I started to think. This may be the last musical I EVER do. And I got really sad, but then I got really happy because I know just as well as A^K knows... I couldn't have asked for anything better. The first day of rehearsal I just kept thinking how it was going to take so long to get to opening night, and slowly it just popped up. Days seemed to pass by where I was building the set and everyone came in for rehearsal and before I knew it rehearsal was over, and it was time to go home. So many of those days passed me by. SO MUCH of the rehearsals I just spent enjoying the music, enjoying the people, and enjoying Les Mis. I love it so much.

So if you get a chance, come see it. It's good. And I'm not just saying that because I'm in it. Trust me, I would tell you if it sucked.
