Jersey Boys

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, this was SO GOOD!!!

I got to go see Jersey Boys down at the Buell last night, and it was incredible.  It's the true story behind the rise and fall of the Four Seasons...and wow.  WOOOOOOOOOOW.  
"Things you would never guess from the music" would probably also be a fitting title for the musical (though slightly harder to fit on the T-shirts).  
It was beautiful.

Auditions

No one is ever going to read this.  Which is really depressing, if you think about it.  
Still, for whatever reason, I felt semi-obligated to post.
Remember those days when we used to check AJ's blog, and tell him to come back to it, like we wanted him?  Now it's sort of the opposite.  Which is also depressing.

I had my audition.  I sang in my head voice.  Ms. West said lots of things.  She recognized that I took a risk doing that.  She said I was growing.  I think she means musically and theatrically, but I would agree with her in terms of life in general as well.  I did fairly well.

In an odd sort of way, I think I wasn't really preparing my song so much for her.  I was preparing it for someone else... I built up their opinion so much.  And yet, when I was done, all they could say was "that's really high for you, isn't it?"

People will always disappoint you.  But that's just why God is so much better.

Good 
Night

Bless
