This month is so crazy and exciting that I can hardly stand it!
Jubilee! Alum & my dear friend, Hillary Elliott is daringly baring it once again for charity in a show of over 200 of NY's most talented and sexy dancers on stage for a spectacular show that raises money for BroadwayCares/EquityFightsAIDS, one of the nation's leading AIDS foundations. It's a chance in the NYC performing arts community to give back and make a difference. If you can, please sponsor Hillary and visit her donation page and help others: http://www.broadwaycares.org/hillaryelliott. Donations are tax-deductible. YOU GO GIRL!
A HUGE Congratulations to the LIDO & it's 5,000 shows of BONHEUR!
I remember watching the rehearsals for the show, and it doesn't seem like it was that long ago! You all looked like you had a well deserved celebration! Cheers tout le monde!
Eric, of the Lido Press, also posted a great video about the LIDO and you can see some clips of the show I did, C'est Magique, plus many others. It's in English and well done!

VEGAS AIDS CHARITY: Golden Rainbow Barry Manilow Theatre at Paris Las Vegas on Sunday, June 26 at 1pm. Jubilee! Alum, Shannon Hardin created a number just for alumni, I can't wait to see photos! MERDE everyone!
HEAVEN & EARTH: UK Tour Ireland & Wales: I leave the 15th of June and meet up with the rest of the musicians/dancers somehow (I'm still working on the details between Belfast & the small city we will first perform). This is my first time to Ireland & Wales and it's my second "tour" in Europe. Completely different that touring with the LIDO, but no less interesting or exciting. I think it's more challenging in that we will be moving around the entire time and the simple lack of venue continuity is a bit daunting. It's easy that I only have one costume, but part of me misses the sequins! Each locations also has different people performing with us, so no two shows will be the same. I do love the stage, but dancing in European cathedrals is something I never even dreamed about. That in itself is a heavenly gift. MERDE to all of my cast members here, and the future ones on the other side of the pond! We couldn't have done any of this without the support of the original cast members we leave behind. We'll have a Guiness in your honor!
JUBILEE! 30th reunion: So far, I have a list of 17 people for 1st show. I've tried to call Randy a few times, but his phone is always busy! He doesn't have call waiting, so I'll just keep trying. I'm sure the list will keep growing. We now have 28 Blog Members! Lisa Gallion had a good idea that we should have drinks before, during AND after, ha! Pour quoi pas?
