For the past week I have thought nothing but "breathe", "walk", "sing", and "speak in Asian accent". I have spent most of my waking moments in the theatre working on Thoroughly Modern Millie. The average time I've been getting home is at 10 this week. Naturally, all I can think about is the musical. I didn't know what to blog about and to be quite honest I'm so extremely exhausted from the three performances of today that I don't think I can even read the blog suggestions without falling asleep. Considering the fact that the English class has an option to see the musical and it's being performed in school I think it's appropriate for me to blog about Millie and blog about why I think people should come. First of all, musicals are such hard work. They take so much time, effort and money to put on. The drama department makes a good portion of their money from the in-school shows. Also, let's face it, my character is awesome. I'm the villain for once in my life and I love it. I'm a ginger and I get to pretend to be Chinese. How unbelievably cool/funny is that? My accent is absolutely awful and so stereotypical that I'm sure everyone will find it humorous. Not only am I the villain, but I have henchmen. ASIAN HENCHMAN. They seriously speak Chinese the whole time. (Besides me) they are everyone's favorite characters. The cast is full of some really great characters and some really amazing talent. If these reasons alone don't make you want to come see the show then I am absolutely not above begging. Please, please, please, please, please come see it. Honestly, I think there are some really funny aspects to the show and if nothing else you get out of two and a half classes. If you really want to you can make fun of me during class and I'll pretend not to hear you. Thursday, March 21, 2013
