One Woman Show

Ooo I’ve been making steps forward or at least in my thinking towards performing in a musical.  I am working on a ‘One Woman Show’.  I’m still going to be auditioning for musicals as they come along and hoping against hope that pick me but it’s time to take matters into my own hands.  If I want to be in musical I’m just going to have to write one for myself and produce it and put it up.  Plus I know at least 3 people who will be in the audience and those 3 ppl have plenty of friends to invite to come out and support me.  But now I am in the infancy stage of this mini-musical.  The thing about one person shows is that I don’t actually like being onstage alone.  Sure I want to be the star of the show but I also like the chemistry of being part of a cast.  That’s why I love improv.  Maybe I could have a chorus for my one woman show.  But I’m not going to get ahead of myself this time.  My usual approach would be to book the venue before there is even a show to book (because to me that’s the easy part).  No, no, no – this time I am going work on the show until it is as close to perfect as possible and then book the venue.  I also want to go to some open mic nights and practice the songs in front of an audience.  I’ll have to see if I can plug in my ipod to the sound system so that I can have my background music.  I am really excited now that I have this project going.
