Good Golly, Miss Molly!
Whoa! Can you guys believe that Over the River and Through the Woods opens tomorrow?! I know I can’t!
Really, though. I feel like this show went so fast. What’s amazing to me is to see what it has become from where it started…it seems like only yesterday we were still stuck rehearsing in the board room (because Arsenic and Old Lace was in the rehearsal hall), and now suddenly we’re at Tango’s and tomorrow we open. Incredible. I’m so proud of everyone in the cast and the journey we’ve made together. As always, working with Andy has been a real pleasure - he has been the one to keep me anchored when my life has threatened to carry me away, and I would really like to thank him for that. It’s also been wonderful developing a new kind of friendship with people who knew me primarily in high school, like Scott and Denny. The look on their faces the first time I told a dirty joke…priceless. And Karen and Eric have just been amazing - I always knew them through their children.
I’m going to miss this show and this cast and this closeness, even though I already have another endeavor lined up (Sweeney Todd, here I come!). You can’t know what it’s like unless you’ve been there…the difference between a cast of 6 and a cast of 60. I’m just glad I got to have this small cast experience. I really am.
I suppose I don’t have much else to say tonight. I’m drowning in syrup from all that sticky sweetness anyway, but I meant every word of it. So in closing I want to say break a leg to my castmates…on with the show!
