Dear me
Remember at drama school
When that director said you didn’t have the voice to do musical theatre
Well here you are in the room
On the stage
Singing Sondheim
And a part of it all
And it feels glorious

A Beautiful Day
20°C/68F in late October
It feels like Sydney at Christmas
Not New York
The bright blue of the sky
The warmth of the air
The thrill of being at rehearsal
The joy of chicken broth bubbling on the stove

Meeting
The loveliness of meeting
Kindred spirits and
Engaging in conversation
That could go on for hours

A Jolly Holiday
A joyful musical filled day
Frogs rehearsal in the morning
Lunch in Bryant Park
Making fairy bread for musical theatre book club
Singing through Mary Poppins
The music of the Sherman Brothers
A warm hug
To my inner four year old

Into the Words
The utter thrill
Of being in the rehearsal room
And getting to sing the words and music
Of Stephen Sondheim

Lou & Lu Take NYC
A glorious hot end-of-summer day in NYC
Traipsing the city with Aunty Lou
The High Line, the Battery, the Guggenheim, the Met, Central Park
Catching a Broadway show
My first time back to Wicked on Broadway since 2008
Dinner at the Glass House Tavern
Chatting til we’re propping our eyelids open with toothpicks
I don’t want Lou to leave!

luminescence: the emission of light by a substance that has not been heated.
LuMinEssence: the mission of finding light in the dark.
Alice at the Palace
Discovering the music of Elizabeth Swados
Whimsical and impactful
Unafraid to play
And say it how it is
Being able to watch extraordinary performances by exemplary artists
That took place before I was even born

I Could've Danced All Night
The best day ever?!
Breakfast with Katie
Lunch with Julia
Operation Mincemeat matinee
Hilariously funny and devastating and brilliantly executed
My seat mate, the only other masked person in the building
It was nice to share the show with them
The exquisite torture of a missed connection
Walking across the Thames
Past South Bank
Wave to St Paul’s back across the river
Dinner at Lantana - “a little piece of Australia in London”
The Third Man at the Menier Chocolate Factory
Such fun to see Tom performing again
I’d told him I’d watch him move chairs for Trevor Nunn
But I didn’t expect Trevor Nunn to be in the building
Or shouting the cast to a post-show champagne
Grabbing a drink at the pub
(Drinking in the UK is so much nicer than in the US)
And then walking back across the Thames and ending up on the steps of St Paul’s
Ten years of catching up
And saying until next time
When they turned out the lights at 1am.
