Living the Dream!

So, I have my NYC cabaret debut, albeit as a back-up vocalist.  But no complaints here, as I get to sing back-up to my upstairs neighbor and fellow Firestone High Alum, Lisa Howard!  For the uninformed, she is one of the stars of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, (which you should ALL see!) and she is doing an very unique cabaret, Inspiration.  It is at Ars Nova, 551 W 54th St, Sunday March 6, 8pm. (www.smarttix.com) She is singing some great stuff, including Indigo Girls, Joni Mitchell, Barbra Sreisand, as well as musical theatre.  So, if you’re around, check it out.  Believe me, this girl’s voice is unparalleled and I am so happy to be on stage with her.  Also, the other back-vocalists are B’way actors and the Musical Director of Spelling Bee is playing and arranging the music for us singers and the band.  So, I’m in amazing company, and so grateful to have this opportunity to work with some very talented people.  That and I got to hang out backstage at the Circle in the Square! 

Oh and I have found a day job.  I am a reservationist at Cafe Fiorello, which is right across the street from Lincoln Center.  Its a very nice place and the hours are flexible.  (Mainly because we are all actors, as 99.9% of all restaurant staffs here are!)  So I will be making some cash, answering many phone calls and eating lots of good Italian food, as they feed us lunch and/or dinner.  Thankfully, my gym is right on the way back to the bus station! 

Thats it for now.  More info as it comes in…I know you are all riveted to your seats by my amazing stories!
