We are off to the land of WICKED---meaning Rhode Island

Well Pinkettess of Elle,

We are off to Providence!!!! 
The last two days have been amazing. We have continued with the run thrus. Wednesday
 we lost our props and practice scenery, so its like a troupe of mimes singing Larry O'Keefe tunes.  

Yesterday was the most stressful of them all. Most of the Broadway cast came to see our run 
through. no pressure!!! But, it went great.  They loved the changes, and we all got to powwow a bit after......before going to enjoy some snacks on Jerry's balcony uptown.

Then we came in early today, 9:30.  We didnt do any JUMPROPE warmups yesterday, so as a last hurrah we did a workout, before an army of +1 friends and family
 sauntered into the room, and we rocked the house. I am going to go on a limb and say that i will miss that bonding every morning. I may be flogged by my castmates but tis the truth.
My friend Francis Kelly, my +1 cuz an old friend Tricia Berry had to work the US Open, was teary eyed when he said how inspired he was after the show.  I had to agree......although i cry every run-through we do. Maybe I am just sensitive----or maybe the ballad is amazing now. Either way.....the show is inspiring.  Then, after another powwow with our awe inspired attendees 
( including some more of the Bway company---Autumn of the MTV Reality show included), our producers gave us a pep talk. Hal was gleaming like a proud parent and could barely speak, he was so moved.  You see, our producers have been away most of the rehearsal process.  He just saw his baby walk and talk and he barely got to see it even crawl.


We then took a mass picture with everyone before we all reconvene in RI.

Now here we go. Most people are meeting our group bus Monday morning, but I am going to my cousins in Kingston to kayak. See ya there brothers and sisters of NU...

OH also-----there will be an updated U/s list on the next blog, cuz i hastily neglected to leave out the swings names on the post.  I am sorry...my bad!  They are ......(cue the drum roll and the republican balloon assault) Sara Andreas, Leslie McDonel, Jay Garcia, and the late comer Spencer Howard. 

Other additions.......
Here is a list of the dogs:   Bruiser- Roxy & Frankie  Rufus-China & Nellie

Here we go......



also....here is a pic submitted by a super fan---or should i say the FANSVIG ( i wonder if there is a way to get enough Tshirts for the cast for Beckys bday?)
