Update from Spain & Vacation!

Hey all! Sorry I haven't updated in what feels like FOREVER! We just began our 2 week vacation (well lay off) this past Monday and my friend Ashley is here visiting! Right now we are in Paris, France till saturday morning and we then fly back to Madrid and Ashley leaves Sunday morning. Anyways, Paris has been really nice! I got to go inside the louvre, see more of the eiffel tower and go the Notre Dame and a few other places...... Luckily, a few of the places I had not seen the last time I was here a month ago so it was really nice to feel like I saw all of Paris. I wish there was more time here because I would of loved to do a few tours such as go to the Versailles but there is always next time!!! Anyways, once Ashley leaves I am going to spend a few days in Madrid: probably just hang around by the pool and relax because on thursday night I am headed to LONDON!!! I am so excited and cannot wait to experience what London is like!! That is all for now...... I don't have my camera cord so I can't post any pictures from Paris so far till I get back but here are a few so far from Ashley's visit and the start of my 2 week vacation (lay off)!

Till next time!

Spain Blog Entry Update!

We got to Madrid on Saturday night and began our first show that thursday. Before hand, the shark ladies had a few TV appearances which we will hopefully get videos from and the Tony's and Maria's had interviews with local spanish papers.......etc. Anyways, we did find this link from opening night of our jet boys performing the "Jet Song"! http://www.todomusicales.com/multimedia/video5.php?id=VmtaYVUxVnJNVzVRVkRBOStQ

Our days have been consisting of laying by the pool and sleeping and doing a little bit of exploring and then going to work for class at 8pm! But yesterday I went to Plaza de Toros where the bull fighting takes place and it is crazy what they do to these bulls!! I must say though, the venue is beautiful!!!! There will me many more exciting things to document soon......... Ashley is coming on saturday and we are going to go to London for a few days! Any suggestions as to what to do?

Talk soon <3

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

Monday to Saturday

It is getting harder to update this every day because if I do, it would consist of NOTHING. HAHA! Anyways, this week is our last week of rehearsals before we travel to Saar Louis, Germany for tech, dress, and previews! On Monday Kendall (one of the Maria's) and I walked around town and had tons of cheese and chocolate from a local shop! It was nice to be able to get out and do something but not do too much!

Tuesday and wednesday were normal rehearsals, a lot of cleaning and inserting the adults into the scenes. On wednesday we also finally got our other Tony and our Chino so we have a full cast which is very exciting!!!! Also, the hair and makeup people arrived and Joey lined us all up and told them what he wanted done. A lot of the jets had their hair dyed and cut and just us sharks got haircuts.... Joey decided that my hair would be to my shoulders and as wished and wanted: it is!

On thursday, we started full run throughs of the show in our LA DUCAS! It was exciting to see it really come together as a whole. We are doing another run through today and Sunday and sunday night we are having a company dinner at an italian place to celebrate finishing rehearsals and of course, our last night in Donaueschingen, Germany before going to Saar Louis. Till next time xo
