Christmas till Return in the US















So I will say I am officially horrible at updating this blog. Let's start with Christmas... On Christmas Eve our hotel hosted a fantastic dinner for us where we got to dress up and we played the game "White Elephant" which is a grab bag sort of game. It was a lot of fun and it was nice to spend Christmas with the cast, as we are one big family. We had a great time and for a while it made most of the cast forget they weren't home with their families for Christmas. After Christmas we had another week full of shows and before we knew it, New Years Eve was here!! A few of us from the cast went to an Indian Buffet for dinner and I popped open my first bottle of champagne. After we went back to the hotel, and hung out in our rooms. At midnight we stepped outside onto our balconies and watched the fireworks go off..... Because they aren't illegal there, the people of the town were creating and setting off such STUNNING fireworks. THEY WERE HUGE!!! We were all in such shock, we didn't know where we were!!!! It was so cool to say that I rang in 2010 in Scheveningen, Holland because I will most likely never get to do that again. After new years was over, we had out last week of shows and as the week slowly came to a close we realized that this was it, that we would be leaving one another. We finished our last show, our 180th show and we all lost it. The following day we headed back to the US and NYC and it was back to reality for us, back to a normal life away from our dream land of traveling the world and performing in the most amazing show. Upon returning in the US it was time to teach classes, take classes, audition, file taxes and live a normal life.
Enjoy these pictures from the last leg of our tour before the 2 month break. We go back over the end of March till the end of May and not the whole cast is returning. It will be a different energy level but I can't wait to do the show again and meet new people and create new friendships.
