A Lazy Day Off....
It's Monday, June 28th(I think), 4:40 PM and It's my day off. I've just been lounging around reading, recovering a bit from an uber fun night at the Bedrock Club. It was sort of a good-bye party for B.T. and Stephen, our Aussie Co/Asst. Director, who left today. Stephen was B.T.'s A.D. for the Australian production of "Cabaret" and, in his absence here in Korea, was basically(along with Suzie Taylor, the Choreographer) the main stage director- and a great one at that!
Well, the show has been going very well, and, as I said before, is being received with great applause; the only problem is that the applause is still coming from very small houses. Word on the street is that Seoul will be completely different and that the houses should be packed. We'll see.... We only have 2 more shows(Tues. and Wed.) before we leave lovely Taejon, and won't open in Seoul until Saturday. That means we as a cast are invited by Mr. Park, the presenter, to the production of "RENT" I spoke of in earlier blogs. I think we're invited to some after-party with a host of local uppity-ups who are friendly with Mr. Park as well.
Along those lines, we're very proud to know that the diplomatic corps from the U.S. Embassy is coming to see the show this coming weekend. I understand the U.S. Amdassador to South Korea will also be in attendance, so I guess I'll have to take it easy on the Soju that night....(just kidding- I'll still be drinking lots of Soju)
As I stated before, the extension to China is off, but, after talking to B.T. last night, he told me he and Suzie are directing the West Chester version of "Cabaret" that opens around late August and runs through mid-November. He also told me that Thomas and Jen(Foothills' "Cliff Bradshaw" and his wife, our Choreographer) are also involved, Tom playing the Victor/trombone track, similar to what I'm playing now.(Tom also played this role in the Studio 54 production.) However, both of them have to leave the production early, as they have both been cast in the new Monty Python Musical "Spam-a-Lot". I'm thrilled for them , as they are both super people and well deserving of the gig. However, that also means they will need a replacement during the run for Thomas' trombone track. If they haven't already filled the position(no trombone joke intended), B.T. said he'd pass my name along to the West Chester folks, so I'll just wait and see......
All the best to those who continue to read my words, and, as always, Peace- An-nyong-ee Keyseo! -Gags
