Beauty and the Beast



I'm leaving for Houston this week to play my favorite role of all time. This is really exciting for me. Truthfully, I've been waiting for a chance to play this role, and here it is!! I hope it's not the last time, but it's definitely the first!

Tickets are on sale at www.fortbendtheatre.com.

Here's directions to The Stafford Centre.

Would love for any of you Houston-ites (or not, my parents are coming in from Oklahoma =-) ) to come see the show! Spread the word!

It's so cool that you get to play your dream role.

And look at your billing on the poster -- it basically says "Our very own Off Broadway Star returns home!".

Congratulations!

I am so excited to know you do blog...I have spent a little an hour catching up on your life and I feel well informed now :) We are so going to try and work out a way to get to Houston at the end of the month...but if all else fails we are coming to NY in August - we have a friend getting married and we are turning it into a trip for us!!! Sounds like you guys are really doing great...Congrats on being brave and obedient.

Congrats again. One question I have is how you can play this role having not been in Houston for practices?

I can hear the music in my head.

"little town, it's a quiet village..."

Starring Amber Ward. That sure looks good! Congratulations.

Oh, and have fun with Julio. He's a great guy -- and my wife tells me he's really handsome!

Seth... Seth! Are you listening? :-)

Cach,

Sadly, yes. BUT I hope the Hippo will have a place for me sooner than later. =-) You and Becky have been such an encouragement to me through all of this ("this" being my recent return to musical theatre), whether you've known it or not.

C-ham, thanks!

Elaine, Yay!! Do you know the dates of the August trip yet?

MB, I leave this week for two weeks of rehearsal in Houston. I've been studying the role, and have to be off-book by the time I get there. They started rehearsals a week or so ago and are working me in when I arrive.

Joanna, I love that song!! There's a song added in the stage version called "Change in Me." It's really great, too.

Bill, Seth is all the beast I'll ever need. (Sorry...just...couldn't resist.) Except handsome before I professed my undying love for him, not just after.
