hi guys,
well i'm here in miami FINALLY.....rehearsals are going well. We're down a few people but am getting some today. It's sunday today and it's our day off. wohoo......you'd think i'd be at the beach but NOPE....it just happens to be cloudy and miserable today. It was sunny and gorgeous all week but today it's decided to be miserable.
Not to worry, plan B...shopping!
Our choreographer is aussie & worked at the moulin so knows a lot of other aussies i know. She's really fun and makes rehearsals a lot less stressful than normal.
We finished learning the first show in 3days and is half way through our next/last show so we might get another day off b4 we board the ship in new york.
My room-mate is English and heaps of fun too. We lost a dnacer after the first day coz her grandmother suddenly got ill. Bless her. We're still missing 3 singers and a gymnast but like i said b4 hopefully we'll get them today
Aren't we the mos organised cast!
Besides english and aussie, we also have people from Canada, Belise, poland, Ukrain, Russian and america. They all seem realy sweet and most have been on the ship b4.
That's all for now folks, will try to write one more time b4 i leave.

Apologies
Hi,
Well i never thought any1 actually read my blog but apparently people do and i've recently been getting a few complaints about the lack of update acttivity so i hope you accept my apologies and continue to visit.
Let's see, last time i wrote was b4 the FAME audition......hm.......let's just say i need singing lessons b4 i try to audition for another musical.
And the Madame butterfly audition....they needed one girl and one boy. Seeing i was as tall, if not taller than the boys already at the audition, I knew that job was lost b4 we even started dancing.
Since then, holding my head high and determined not to give up, I continued trekking to London at wee hours of the morning in hopes to find employment. Went to a Son Amar (located in Spain) audition and went rather well however due to Visa complications am again left at sqaure one desperately trying to get rid of the title 'UNemployed'
The most interesting of all, was the audition for 'Wicked', 600+ girls turned up (goodness knows how many in total as boys were the day after, then private auditions later on) and we were made to wait OUTSIDE at FREEZING temperatures. Not kidding.....it started to snow! I waited outside, in line on the pathway for 4 HOURS. The things dancers do to get work. Luckily I met a few people on the way, starting with a friend of a friend then their friends and their friends, so 6 strangers laughing and chatting away trying to make time go quicker, that in the end, the experience from waiting in line turned out much better than the audition itself.
In the meantime, have been juggling whether to go back on a ship or not. The money is good, no responsibilities, experiencing new countries and cultures while doing the thing you love best. Why not? Turned down a few offerrs but in the end, gave up trying the 'square mile' and have decided to go back. Will leave England on 19th Feb and fly to Ft Lauderdale where i rehearse for 2 weeks then board the Norwegian DAWN in New York on the 5th.
There you go, so all you yankies, i'll keep you posted so we can meet up and if any1 else is in the Caribbean, be sure to let me know.
Hope you're all well....and i'll try to be better with my blogging.
