Quote of the Day:
“Tanner is smuggling whole people in his dashiki.”
Why?: A report from David as Tanner passed by with Carlos totally up in his dashiki. These are the antics that come from white people performing selections from The Lion King in traditional African garb. Okay, Carlos is Latino, but you get the point!

Word of the Day: SLAP!
Why?: The slap heard around the world. Alex took one for the team while rehearsing “Two By Two” from the Broadway smash, The Book of Mormon. My favorite part might be Jeff’s genuine Southern-expressed concern; I love me some Georgians, right, Sarah?! Kudos to Alex for staying in character!

Quote of the Day: Alternative Lyrics
(Sang to the tune of “One” from A Chorus Line) “Do, I, really have dementia?”
Why?: The lyrics are actually, “Do, I, really have to mention, she’s the one”. But apparently James C. (Greg) had other concerns when he began to jumble up the lyrics in rehearsal last night. Anyone else need a nap?

Word of the Day: YEOW!
Why?: I think my favorite part of the song “Oklahoma!” from the show Oklahoma! is the final, “YEOW!” that the cast shouts. Don’t know why; it’s just so much fun.
In any case, we open tonight and I am so amped up. If you’re seeing this and you will be in the Denver area over the next 3 weekends (April 23rd - May 9th) call the Lakewood Cultural Center at 303-987-7845 or visit: https://rec.lakewood.org/scripts/webtrac.wsc/wbps0210.html?wbsi=si&xxguest=yes&lang=WEBT&wbp=2&xxSearchName=OKLAHOMA to get tickets.

Word of the Day: Wicked
Why?: I got to experience Wicked for the very first time last night. Before seeing the show, I had always wondered how it was possible that I know so many people who have seen this show and yet I have never heard one complaint. Now that I have seen it for myself, I completely understand! It was absolutely amazing and I have been thinking about it ever since. I will definitely have to see it again sometime in the future. Once just wasn’t enough.
While it did differ from the book by Gregory Maguire, I was quite pleased by the changes. I felt that they were well-done, fitting, and helpful in tying everything together. I agree with Derek, in that I prefer the songs from the first act. Still I’m not sure if I could pick a favorite act.
If you haven’t seen Wicked, I HIGHLY recommend it!
