I have to say, I don't think that musicals are really my calling. I can't carry a tune, am tone deaf, and am much more likely to injure myself than do anything that resembles grace. That being said, I think I'd prefer to stay in my nice, safe, tech booth during the musicals- I'll stick to the straight plays.
Though, as I have learned, if I am asked "Can you sing/dance/stand on your head while burping the national anthem and proclaiming in mermish?" the answer will, of course, be "Of course. Would you prefer formal mermish or the more casual dialect?"
I'm also going to have to find a new comedic contemporary monologue for my metaphorical back pocket (the back pocket of my soul). That kind of sucks. Not because I have any issue with finding and learning new monologues, but because I very much liked the idea of having at least the four required. Now I only have three. :(
One thing that I noticed today is that, if you know Shakespeare well enough, you can start to see similarities in the plays- line wise I mean (the similarities otherwise are pretty obvious)
When Richard says "You have a daughter called Elizabeth, fair and beautiful." (something like that) it keeps reminding me of Taming of the Shew, where Protuchio asks almost the exact same thing :You have a daughter, sir, named Katarina, fair and beautiful?" very similar! It keeps resonating with me everytime I hear tehm say it, because I keep getting deja vu from Taming of the Shew.
And yes, in the version of Taming of the Shrew that I own, it says Katorina, not Kathrine. I think that the former is much cooler, and therefor persist in using it, despite that the most popular versions use Katharine.
On a side note- tomorrow Harry Potter comes out!! George, it is so on tomorrow!
