My Fair Lady

I have been pretty busy for the last month as we get closer to opening night next week.  Many of you will know me as a Voice Movement Therapy practitioner, a jazz singer and composer and improviser for circus and theatre and maybe as a a Celtic lullaby singer & unless you know me very well you won't know that this is my first 'proper' musical in 25 years! What's even weirder is that My Fair Lady was the last musical I was in when I was 15.  My mother was also in it with me she sang alto and I sang soprano.  It's funny, as a tiny little girl I always said "I want to be a singer and an actress" but am only just starting to give myself permission to do both.  I am in the ensemble for this show so there has been a lot of dancing to learn (also a new thing for me) as well as remembering how to work within a chorus and with a conductor so it's been quite a stretch for the 'solo make it up as you go along sing from the heart' kind of gal that I can be.

Anyway, if you would like to come and see the show (wonderful cast, great orchestra and fabulous hats!) we open next week in Walnut Creek at the Dean Lesher Center, then Napa Valley opera house, then two weeks at the Yerba Buena Center in SF and closing in Livermore on the last week of August for more details go to the lamplighter's website http://www.lamplighters.org/season.html   :) Loverly
