The Wedding Singer
Needless to say…I am very excited!!
WOW!! My Broadway debut!! Sorta surreal.
So much to learn in so little time…but they got the right guy on the job.
How flippin’ sore…(soar?) is my body right now??? Oh man!!
Lots of dancin and stuff to learn.
This cast is so AMAZING I don’t even know where to begin…
They first did this show in Seattle and of course have been on Broadway for about 6 months now.
I was at the opening of Wedding Singer and I remember saying to myself, "Man, that would be fun!!"
and here we are…
THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING SHOW!!! SO FUN, GREAT ENERGY, SWEET LOVE STORY AND AN AMAZING CAST AND CREW!! ENDLESS 80′S FUN!!!!!
They have welcomed me with open arms…they have invited me into the "Circle" they do onstage right before the show…I have respectfully declined so far cause it’s too soon. That just goes to show you how gracious they are.
I’ll be frank…August and September have been very slow for them (traditionally these months are with the end of summer, back to school and the Jewish Hollidays) but I am REALLY HOPING THINGS PICK UP WHEN I GET IN THERE!!! YOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
YES, I OFFICIALLY OPEN FRIDAY NIGHT SEPT 8TH @ 8PM!!!! YIKES!!!
I have been in rehearsals for a few days and have blocked the whole show. (this means the stage manager has taught me where I am and where I go in each scene)
Learned most of the big numbers, "Single" and "Saturday Night" and others….
I HAVE OBSERVED THE SHOW FOR THE LAST WEEK OR SO AS WELL BOTH FROM THE AUDIENCE AND BACK STAGE.
Sorry to those Wed Heads that have waited by the stage door for the others and prolly witnessed me just wisk right by you after the show…again…too soon for me to go there. I trust you understand…thanks and come back when I get in there on the 8th!!!
So…it seems there are a couple of conflicts, no?
*THE VIPER ROOM IS STILL ON!!! I WILL BE OUT OF THE SHOW (WS) ON THE 19TH AND 20TH*
*THE GREEK FESTIVAL IS STILL ON!!! I WILL BE OUT OF THE SHOW (WS) THE 30th AND 1ST OF OCTOBER.*
OTHER THAN THAT I AM IN THERE FOR THE LONG HALL AND OF COURSE WILL MAKE THOSE SHOWS UP…EXTENDING MY RUN. OF COURSE IF WE ARE DOIN GREAT…GB MIGHT WANNA STAY AROUND THE BOARDS (not fan boards) FOR A BIT!!!
I have been approached about many other shows…
Jaques Brel is alive and well… is one of the most amazing shows playing in NYC right now. I was offerred the part and we are working to figure out when and how I can do a run of the show perhaps this winter. Yeah!! This would really be amazing. It’s like "Queens Blvd." and "Aquaman"….best of both worlds!!! Thank you to the crew at Brel for being so cool!!
This is no way puts my recordings on the back burner…in fact I prefer the studios here and lets face it…my days are pretty free to ROCK!!!
Planning on some Monday shows in the city and a HUGE Halloween show if we can pull it off..so stay tuned for those…and those of you that don’t get to NYC much…or NEVER!! Get off yo’ ass and come thru!!! Let’s party like it is 1986!!!!
Thank you all for the amazing words of encouragement during this process…I love you all very much!!! Stay tuned…
BUY YOUR TIX NOW!!!!!!
LOVE,
CONSTANTINE~ (MySpace)
