Ten Reasons: a Musical Journey

So here we are on the cusp of the start of rehearsals. I don't know about you, but I'm THRILLED! I mean, it's here, it's coming...in a month and a half it will be in front of a live audience.

I can't wait. I mean, I completely can't wait. It's a little ridiculous.

I was thinking today of the people who have already mentioned to me that they'll come to see it. My parents, for one. Now, many of you might think that's a relatively unremarkable thing. Well, it's not. I'll tell you why: my parents have never seen me perform since I was in college which was *ahem* years ago. They haven't even seen me do stand-up since 2003, which was sort of bizarre anyway, since it was kind of an impromptu set at my Grandmother Hauser's funeral lunch. Per request...I should mention that...my family wanted to see it, and I obliged. I won't lie. It was bizarre, but successful. I (please forgive me for this, Grandma) killed, actually.

In any case, my parents have bought plane tickets to make their way to New York to see this show. That's almost more scary to me than the whole rest of it. Kind of like when you're singing in front of a dark audience vs. in a small room with a bunch of people you know. It's remarkably easier to do it in front of the people you don't know. At least for me.

Oy. In any case, I'm still ridiculously excited. Right now, though, I have to run...

More later...
