I cannot believe it is already August! It is just that time of year for everyone, I think, to try to cram as much in up to the punch as possible. Things certainly have been busy. Then again, that in itself is a blessing.
This week concludes our run of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" at Texas Repertory Theatre here in Houston. We really do have a terrific show and I will be sad to leave it behind. It has been a rewarding experience and also difficult in more ways than I expected. It has been so hard to allow myself to really relax and enjoy it all, simply because I care too much. I am a perfectionist with the things I care about the most. As hard as I always try to work, I want it to show in my performance. I nit-pick on myself way too much and that hinders more than helps sometimes. Aren't we always our worst critics? On the other hand, I am delighted with our whole cast and the end result of a passionate and dedicated process. I am so proud to have been a part of it.
A special part about it for me, is that this musical was the first Broadway production I ever saw and on my very first visit to New York. I remember it was just after the Tony awards in 2002, so I was able to see the original cast (including one of my favorite actresses)! That trip came at a "landmark" in my life so I hope things are finally coming full circle, or maybe just beginning...
