Our theater here, the Ordway, is beautiful and quite large. Though it is not the largest we will play on tour, it feels quite a bit bigger than the Paper Mill. There are small lights that line each balcony. When you are gazing out "over the Prairie" from the stage, as we do in the show many times, there are times it looks like you are gazing into an endless starry sky. The staff here is great. We have new dressers in each city, so you never know what you're going to get. But my dresser, Dale, is ON IT! I have one full costume quick change to do in about 15 seconds, and it went swimmingly well.
Now we begin to explore the city. St. Paul is connected by a series of "skyways" from building to building, so you really don't have to walk outside at all. Although, I enjoy the crisp air. I hope to get back over to Minneapolis for at least a day to remember all the places I got to know last summer during the previous PRAIRIE run.
Pulling on my parka and out OUT THE DOOR!
Hey Kev,
ReplyDeleteI saw a Fan-pic from you at the stagedoor at Millburn on facebook and you were smiling from one ear to the other! :))
Your hair became long and curly again, is that your winter pelt for the cold months!?
Just a joke, I like it like this!!!
Today we have lovely autumn wether in Hamburg, it´s cold but the sun is shining, it´s the right B-Day wether for my biggest son, he became 12 years today.......time flies!
Apropos, Tarzan had already it´s first anniversary on sunday. Phil Collins was in town and they had a great show and party, from what I heard..... :P
And Fränky was lucky to catch an autograph from Phili!!!
I read that Melissa Gilbert was hurt during a show, is she better now?
Sounds like Tarzan..... :(
So, you will be five more days in St.Pauls and then you´ll hit the road to Nashville, TN (yeehaa), right!?
I´m looking forward to some news and pictures.
Take care!!!

Good morning!
ReplyDeleteYou already surely had time now to find out the city... despite cold?! ;)
Do you like it?
This is surely an advantage of such a tour. You get to know many new cities and beautiful corners of the country. And many different theater inclusive endless starry sky. :)
Even if you must get used to the cold, attempts to enjoy it. Every season brings about such beautiful things. And the winter and the cold bring about snow and Christmas! :)
I wish you a beautiful day.
Julia
Wow, lot's of "birthdays" to celebrate! I think I did see some pictures floating around of Tarzan's 1 year anniversary.
ReplyDeleteGuess what, more snow today!..and big snow flakes too!!
