This Saturday I fly to PARIS!
Originally we thought we would be departing from Copenhagen. But now we are going to board the Silver Cloud in Rouen.
This whirl wind rehearsal process has been wonderful.
We have been working with Chris Childers- who is a former Madonna back up dancer, Michael Brennan of Las Vegas's Avenue Q and La Reve, and numerous other amazing industry professionals.
Rehearsals in Redwood have been great. The town literally has the best climate in the country--- it even says so on the 'Welcome to Redwood' sign. So we have had a great time for three weeks without a single day of rain! :-)
A few days back a did a little interview with Adam Rothenberg talking about what I would be doing with Silver Seas on the Silver Cloud ship. It was a really fun interview-- feel free to check it out and many of the other amazing interviews he has done on his column!

And yesterday, we had one of our final rehearsals for the ship at a beautiful house owned by a friend of the company. Rehearsing on a white baby grand in a Great Room? Any day! And there were cats. So. It was perfect. ;-)
After the rehearsal we had a run back at Studio S, and did our Motown show. It was nice to feel it all come together. It has been a draining three weeks learning 3 shows, our own Cabarets, French, Italian, and nearly 800 pages of music. But it will be so worth it! I will be going to Russia, and London during the Olympics!
I have also made some wonderful friends here in Redwood. Unfortunately, we are not all on the same ship, but being that it is such a small world, I found out that one of the cast members, actually lives on my block in New York.
I hope I can find a gluten free Baguette in Paris... Hmm....
