Day 1 IB Theatre
My most memorable production that I've participated in was last year when CA put on the musical Footloose, and I played Wendy Jo. Prior to this, I did theatre in middle school, but the cast and crew was made up of about 160 kids, so I never really had the opportunity to showcase my singing and perform solo. Being Wendy Jo helped me gain so much confidence on stage, because before I was really nervous to sing on stage by myself, but this role made me become more comfortable with this. To say I loved playing Wendy Jo would be an understatement. I felt like I related to her since in terms of her sense of humor and wittiness or sarcastic comments. We also did a lot of dancing, which I also hadn't been able to do much of in previous production, but always have wanted to do. This dancing was more advanced than I'd ever experienced, but I think it added so much to my personal performance as well as the cast's performance as a whole. It was truly the most fun and rewarding role I've ever had, making it most memorable for me.
Each time I go see a Broadway show, it feels like they just keep getting better and better. The most recent show I went to see was Waitress, and I saw it this past April when Shoshana Bean played Jenna and Jeremy Jordan played Dr. Pomatter. I'd been following Shoshana Bean and absolutely fell in love with her voice when I saw a video of her singing "She Used To Be Mine" a few weeks prior to seeing the show. In addition to this, I've always been a fan of Jeremy Jordan, and think that he is beyond talented. So, seeing these two talents performing live together was so awe inspiring and almost unreal to me. My seats at the show were two rows back from the stage, so they were nearly perfect and I had as great of a view as I could have asked for. The story touched me and moved me, and I had to hold back tears as I watched Shoshana Bean sing "She Used To Be Mine" in person about 15 feet in front of me. It truly was more than I ever thought it could be, I'll never forget that show and how deeply I was moved by it.
