My Theatre Season THUS far...

To my delight I will be appearing as Adele in A Man of No Importance at the Irish Classical Theatre Co., and as Susan in Tick Tick Boom at Musicalfare Theatre!


A Man of No Importance (as taken from the Ahrens and Flaherty website) is based on the 1994 Albert Finney movie of the same name. A Man of No Importance tells the tender story of Alfie Byrne, a bus driver living in 1960's Dublin. A passionate fan of Oscar Wilde, Alfie is determined to stage a version of Salome at his church, despite the objections of church authorities. In the process of fighting for the play, Alfie is finally forced to confront his own sexuality and take a stand in the world.

It is a GREAT musical, and I get to be all knocked up in it and shite. AND I get to say SHITE! Ha. I need to work on my Irish still. Oye.

Tick Tick... BOOM! (as taken from the MTI Shows website) is a musical look at the courage it takes to follow your dreams. TICK, TICK... BOOM! is Jonathan Larson's autobiographical tale of a young composer on the brink of turning 30 and falling into oblivion. His girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city (TICK,), his best friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue (TICK...), yet Jon is still waiting on tables and trying to write the great American musical (BOOM!). Containing fourteen songs, ten characters, three actors, and a band, TICK, TICK... BOOM! takes you on the playwright/composer's journey that led to the Broadway blockbuster, RENT. Set in 1990, this traditional book musical is filled with instantly appealing melodies, and a unique blend of pop and musical theatre styles. Everyone, regardless of age, will love this youthful, endearing, and thoughtful piece, and will surely embrace the universal ideal of holding onto your dreams through life's most difficult challenges.

I am really looking forward to this coming year. I would LOVE one more show but we shall see. Mama may need to get a job. SHITE!
