More Video!

Sorry to just keep posting myself singing, but I already miss rehearsing and performing this!

My "Capacity for Joy" song:

I did a show.

I did a show with my friend Abby Feinberg.  And it was great.  Super great.  You should be sad you missed it.  (unless you were there, and if that's the case, thanks for coming!)

I wanted to share some clips with the world!  We are releasing the videos slowly over the next week or two so that we can possibly keep people interested.  :)

So, you can find the first two...

HERE

and

HERE  *this one has swear words in it. 

Also - you can just go on YouTube and search for my name or Abby's name or "A Quarter-Life Cabaret" and they should pop up for you!

Or...just watch them down here:

A Way Back To Then

 

 

Casting Call For A Best Friend/BSLW

So, yeah, that's what I've been up to lately...and the reason I basically stopped blogging.  But now I'm done and I'm back and hi.  :)

Shameless Plug

Because that's what I do.  I shamelessly plug things.

 

I'm doing a show this Sunday!!!!!!!!

 

 

A Quarter-Life Cabaret

Sunday, September 16, 6:30PM

The Duplex

61 Christopher Street

$10 Cover, 2 drink minimum

 

 

 

4 years ago, Abby Feinberg and Lauren Sapienza graduated from The Boston Conservatory with their eyes set on BROADWAY, love and big city living. Now they're Millie Dillmount, Doralee, Rosemary and Smitty...but nowhere near the stage. Can these New York City admins escape the jaws of a quarter-life crisis, balancing both their theatre and real-world dreams? 



 

 

With music from 4 Non Blondes, LCD Soundsystem, Dolly Parton, The Indigo Girls, Jessica Andrews and...a bunch of musicals!  You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll have so much fun! 

 

Hope to see you there!

Saw "Peter and the Starcatcher" - Awesome show. Really cute, funny and heartwarming! Christian Borle is fabulous as the flamboyant, larger-than-life Black Stache! He had some of the best character choices I've seen in awhile....so funny. Go see it.

This show rocked. Seriously. See it if you can. Very cool production.

And made me think back to when I was in it in college. Gotta love picking out your harmonic line while sitting in the audience! Am I right, MTs???

Go Weeeeest! (that's my favorite song)

This play was about pedophilia. I wasn't crazy about it. But Twilight fans and Wicked fans will just love it.

...cause Elisabeth Reaser (Esme) and Norbert Leo Butz (Fiyero) are in it.

Ahh, who doesn't love a campy staged photo? This was taken hastily as I entered the theater...hence the awkward face. :)

To be honest, this show was slightly disappointing overall. I had many moments where I said "how'd they do that?!" but...they mostly involved the crazy expensive and elaborate set. And Ms. Poppins flying over the audience at the end. I think that was my one "child-like moment of awe", if you will. Otherwise, the show was a little too campy and cartoonish for me. Plus, I didn't really enjoy any of the additional songs they added.

Oh, and who the heck is their dialect coach? C'mon people, I didn't pay that much to see a "quasi-english accent".

Day 230: At least I take advantage of good theater while living inNYC...if nothing else.

Ok, and I take advantage of the cupcakes. Lots and lots of cupcakes.

PS: Norm Lewis was phenomenal, even though I think he may have been a little sick. Audra was beautiful. The whole cast had stunning voices and heartbreaking performances. I've never seen this show before and I liked it much more than I thought I would. Go see it if you can.

Day 225: Richard III with Kevin Spacey....yeah.

To say the least. Amazing performances from the 3 leads. Beautiful beautiful music. But...just...strange. I don't know what to say about it. Go read the NY Times review. I think they explained the show's issues well.
