Bye Bye Birdie

Tonight, I went to see the musical Carousel with Jill and Becca. It was pretty good, but not without its issues. (intonation, mic volumes, lights, etc.) The boy who played the lead reminded me a lot of Ben, Conrad, whatever you wish to call him. In fact, he reminded me so much of Ben that I began to be swept back to my BBB days. Though short, and admittedly not by choice, those days were some of the best of my life. I had the chance to meet so many talented young actors, actresses, singers, and dancers. Tech week was terrible and Sammyantha was the only person who got through but, in the end, putting in 16 hour days at school was worth it.

I don't know what else to say besides that I miss being surrounded by musically and theatrically talented people. I miss the friends I made. And I even miss the pit. Singing every song and mouthing every line without ever even seeing what was going on on the stage. As a matter of fact, I never did get to actually see the play... What was happening above me was left up to my imagination.

Bye Bye Birdie, I'm gonna miss you so. Bye Bye Birdie, why'd you have to go?
