Oops, I did it again...

... I played with your heaaaaart, got lost in the gaaaaaaame! :_(

I thought I couldn't beat my previous ratio of 7 shows in 2 years, but with 2 shows performed already in only one month, I suppose I was just being too optimistic :D

Before I go into more specific details about those, there's a couple of thoughts I'd like to share with you :)

There's something very special about being in a show. At least for me. You don't start to realise until the performance starts, and then it becomes obvious once it's done. These magical pieces of human thing (do you like my writing? :D), it seems, tend to bring people together. Or maybe this is just me ^^. But anyway, it makes you feel like you're all siblings. I suppose you could call it love. And because every one tends to be happy, extatic (or crying, but usually both), you just feel happy for them, and happy to have shared this time, however short or long, with them. Of course, you don't know half of their real names and you haven't necessarily had the chance to actually talk to their real selves, but there's the after-show drinks and party for that, and, anyway, you still feel closer to them than to some people who sat in the same lecture theatre with you for a year or more :)

Of course, this feeling is bound to fade away, and you may or may not stay in touch, but there will always be the trace of what you achieved together, and the memory of the beauty of that piece of arty human thingy...

Well, now I've scared every one away, I'm gonna tell you about the 2 shows :)

First one was Bugsy Malone: musical, NYC, gangsters, dancers, boxers, 20s, shaving cream fights. Funny. Approx 800 people dancing on the stage. Was French reporter (and even wrote my own lines ;-)) and chorus. Show auditioned, rehearsed and performed in 3 days!

Second one was Rouge: short play, drag-queen dad, another boxer, funny unfunny comedian, horrible grandma. Sad and funny. Very silenty. No ending. Daddy Sam wore my red dress and long cream gloves. Was Rose. Burst out laughing in a sad scene. Because of 2 evil directors who wrote funny lines for a sad situation :p. Cried sad-happy tears in unison with Lily when it was just over.
