Oh my word! WOW!!! Thanks, everyone, for all your comments and well-wishes! To say I'm thrilled is probably an understatement. I'm just so happy to have the chance to sing - and sing this music! I love it! Many Thanks, again - and we'll keep everyone updated.
BTW - my little photo to the right is actually of me standing in the lobby when I went to see WICKED. I love the Pantages theatre - so awesome and such afitting venue for a show such as WICKED! Love it!
Holly! I am so excited for you. Bummed, because I am here in TX and have never seen Wicked. I hear such wonderful things about it on everyone else's blogs. I must truly be the only person ion the world who hasn't seen it. But either way, I am totally planning on voting for you. Many times over:) Good Luck!
