As I was rehearsing for "Deathtrap" the other night, I was able to hear and feel the musical energy that was coming from the Les Mis cast in the other room and...BRAVO! So much vocal progress has been made by our committed and hardworking cast.(It was really hard for me not to sing a-long, but very good practice to remain in character while on stage.)
On a special note, I tip my hat to Dale and all of our rehearsal accompanists for setting the musical bar high and for supporting and expecting all cast members to achieve that goal. Remember to keep your vocal cords healthy for our creative journey ahead. :) I can't wait to start rehearsing with the orchestra!
Great Job Everyone!

(p.s. Quite a few people have been kindly asking me how to pronounce my uncommon last name. I appreciate it. Its origin is Spanish Basque. Use long vowels and try to roll both of the "R"s:
Ma + Ru + Ri )
Thank you, Erika, for the tip of the hat to Dale and accompanists, and to the rest of us as well!
