Update!

This week was opening week in Lyon, France.... the venue we are at is absolutely stunning: outdoors, ancient ruins, 3,000 seats and 2,000 years old!! At this theatre they sit on seat cushions and it is a custom that if they like the show they throw the seat cushions towards the stage! It is such an experience and really funny as we are bowing and trying to dodge flying seat cushions!! HAHAHA! Anyways, once we arrived in Lyon I hopped right onto a train and headed to Paris for the weekend to meet up with my mom and grandma. Paris is beautiful! We took a bus tour, walked around for a little bit, ate dinner in the eiffel tower and saw the MOULIN ROUGE!!! This past week we have been pretty busy with shows but now that we are on show schedule we will have a lot more free time to explore. Lyon has a lot of shopping and beautiful things to see and of course.... INCREDIBLE PASTRIES! That's all for now! We go to SPAIN on monday and after performing for about 2 weeks there we have a week and a half off so I have to start figuring out where I want to go and what I want to do!! Comment on my post if you have any suggestions and know of any inexpensive ways to travel while seeing everything you need to see!!!! Till next time! xoxo

New Update :)

From Sunday to Tuesday the shark ladies, Tony, Maria and one of the dance captains went to Holland to perform at the 10^th Annual Dutch Musical Awards. This awards ceremony is basically the European version of the US TONY Awards held in NYC yearly. The hotel we stayed at was very nice but very creepy at night because we each had such large rooms to ourselves! On Sunday night around 1230am a car was driving on the road right alongside our hotel and it hit a pole and burst into flames and pretty much exploded. We all could see it but I think Oneika and I had the best view of it, which made it creepy! I did not sleep in my room that night because there was a window in my room with no curtain so I had police lights flashing into my room, which drove me nuts. Overall though, it was a lot of fun and an experience that I was glad to have!! You can view the video on youtube.com by clicking this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21r7cXSt9L0

Tuesday early morning we all took a bus home because last night was our first preview!! After the preview we had a little party to celebrate our preview opening with a SOLD OUT audience!!! Tonight is preview number 2 and Thursday we have 2 more previews followed by our final preview on Friday because Saturday we go to Lyon, France for our OPENING!!! Once that happens, the tour will have officially begun!! That’s probably all till now, I will probably update it again once we open in Lyon. J

Sunday to Tuesday

Sunday was our last day in Donaueschingen and it was an amazing last day as well! We went to rehearsal as usual but we got out early because we all went to dinner as a cast at a local italian restaurant which was INCREDIBLE! Anyway, we then came back to our hotel and partied and hung out all together for a while which was fun! Monday was our day off and our travel day: we sat on a bus for 5 hours to Saar Louis and just went out to dinner when we arrived. It was Maya's birthday so we celebrated with a cake and we also celebrated the night before! She plays Rosalia in the show. Today was our first day of tech rehearsal which was actually not bad at all! We got through all of act 1 and the top of act 2 which is a great start. We were all fitted for our microphones and had some more costume fittings which was fun! We also found out that the shark ladies and Tony and Maria get to go to Holland on Sunday and come back on Tuesday because we are performing at the European version of the TONY awards!!! We are all very excited and our rehearsal for that is being held tomorrow!

That's all for now! Night! xo
