BF

Come on, I just couldn't not write about her.

From the audition's at Millie, I knew she was something special.  She was energetic, motivated, and clearly loved what she was doing.  When she was cast as a stenog, you don't know how excited I was.  Even though she had not tap experience, I knew she would be excited to learn, and that she could be fabulous.  I had a good hunch, but she exceeded my expectations.  I never would have expected to be hugged as I first entered the auditorium every rehearsal, loved like only BF can love, and just feel happy.  She was present on the happiest day of my life (see "Year in Review"), and is partly responsible for making it such.  

Since then, our meetings have been scattered.  Just the occasional running into each other after school, or being in the same show as JF, but I've always enjoyed this.  I've learned that she started dance classes (apparently at WDA, though I've never run into her).  I don't know why she wasn't taking them already.  She could be a fabulous dancer, if she took it seriously enough, and she will.  I know she will.

Little Mermaid's been great, even though I've only seen her three times.  On audition day, she was the first to hug me, in addition to doing well in her audition.  At the callbacks, I got several hugs.  Even though she didn't nail the callbacks, we knew she was definitely going to be a mersister.  On the read through of rehearsal, it literally took about two seconds for her to come running to hug me after I put my cape on.  I can't wait to work with her in "Under the Sea" and "She's in Love".

Now, I found out she has a blog.  The most recent post was about a week ago on the Little Mermaid auditions and casting.  In it, she wrote, "And, I got to see N, which I only really see during drama season and high school concerts!  He's fabulous, as always."

It's nice to be admired like that.  It doesn't happen to me that often.
