It is an absolutely gorgeous day outside today and there is no Mountain Day. Very disappointing (for all you non Smithie readers, Mountain Day is an unannounced holiday in which classes are cancelled on a nice fall day. I think originally Smithies did climb mountains, but now we go apple picking, sunbathe or just catch up on homework). Hopefully it will not be next week, as fall break starts on the 8th.

Extra! Extra!
I've waited practically forever for this to happen and my dream is finally becoming a reality! Paper Mill Playhouse is putting on Newsies as their opening show this fall!!!! I'm practically hyperventilating!!! This wonderful soon-to-be show was a Disney movie musical made in the early 1990's about the newsboy strike of 1899. It is a wonderful movie with fantastic music (written by Alan Menken of The Little Mermaid and Little Shop fame) and incredible dancing - and the best part is that it is all done by boys!
I was first introduced to the music when I performed in a musical revue that used "Carrying the Banner" as the opening and in later renditions, "Seize the Day,""King of New York," and (a particularly off-key) "The World Will Know." The best part about Paper Mill presenting this is that Disney is prepping a stage version that amateur companies can perform!! In the past, it has always been illegal to present a show like that because it is not a legit show (and we could get in trouble). So hopefully the stage version will be ready to perform sometime before I graduate college!!!
Oh and here is the full article from the New York Times.
And one more thing - I'm auditioning tonight for the LL show.We still have not heard about rights from Tams-Witmark. Grr. EDIT: We literally just heard and we got the rights to Cabaret!! I'm going tonight and then callbacks are Sunday. I'm hoping for something small with dancing (a.k.a. Kit-Kat Girl [although I could end up as a boy too]). Plus I've already started a costume list for the dancers and Emcee (does that surprise you?). Yay!
