I have been in Nashville for a week now and we are officially done with our first show! We had our first run through of SHOUT! today for a few select people and already we will start in on AND THE WORLD GOES 'ROUND tomorrow. I have to say that this is definitely the fastest that I have had to learn a show! We had two days of music, 4 days of blocking/dancing/cleaning and then a day to run through everything. SHOUT! seems like a pretty easy show to do...a lot of 60's girl group pop, but it is actually a pretty grueling show to pull together....we NEVER leave the stage and we sing and dance in every song, a lot of it being 4 or 5 part harmony. We haven't had a lot of time to explore Nashville due to our 10 to 6 schedule of rehearsals everyday, but what I have seen I'm really loving. We are put up in hotel rooms with full kitchens, two bedroom, two bathrooms and fireplaces....not too shabby! There are a ton of stores and restaurants around us, so that is super convenient.
Tara came down this weekend to hang out with me and her friend Meg from Flagler (PS: I am a little obsessed with Megan...I'm gonna make her be my friend for the rest of the time that I am in Tennessee). The three of us went to downtown Nashville this Saturday night to check out the bar scene and had SUCH a great time! This first bar we went to SOOOOO typical...country music band, FILLED with smoke, and a vending machine filled with Funyuns and Malboro Lights. HILARIOUS. We also went to The Big Bang which was a dueling piano bar....these guys playing the pianos were amazing....they played everything from "Womanizer"to Billy Joel to Hail to the Victors! So much fun and I'm sure that the cast and I will make it down there again before we leave.
And once again I am going to bed around 11:00...I've been sick and all hopped up on meds since I got here! Getting my fill of Throat Coat, Emergen-C, and NiQuil!
