Jekyll and Hyde

There was an interesting editorial in the newspaper today. Speaking about the cast of Jekyll and Hyde and how it is a High School musical. But that seems strange to me....considering well...Jekyll isn't in High School. Udderson isn't in High School. Emma isn't in High School. 5 out of the 7 girls of the night aren't in high school. The Bishop isn't. Only two members of the Board of Governors are. Stride isn't in High School. The majority of the ensemble is not in high School. I think the only reason she's mad is because I am in High School. And I'm the one who got the part that she wanted. I honestly wish she would've just stated that instead of trying to tear down the whole show. I mean she already said in the article that I was 18 years old and who could ever imagine an 18 year old trying to seduce an older man....ya she's right that never happens...:S Not to mention I can sing the parts well. And not to mention I work my butt off in everthing that I do. I think what it comes down to is not the fact that the show is a high school musical, but that the person writing the article did in fact not get in the show and is bitter....what's behind the facade, right? :)

But as far as the show is going...it's incredible. We've accomplished so much in just a week. And I'm seriously sooo excited. The cast is amazing and talented. They all are so supportive and we seem to all get along. What's strange is I never imagined to connect so well to a character like Lucy Harris. But I'm already beginning to understand her, to understand her lifestyle, and to understand what she so desperately wants. I understand that yes she is a prostitute, but I want to bring so much more depth to her. She too has feelings, has hopes, has dreams- circumstances just wouldn't let her obtain them. But then she meets Dr. Jekyll and "bam" something begins to change within her. I want to depict that. Even though she is not an innocent woman by any means I want to bring innocence to the Lucy-Dr. Jekyll relationship and bring horror to the Lucy-Hyde relationship. I want to do more than just sing the songs I want to sing with power, but act with truth.
