I'm Living the Dream


Bridgette the A2 and Alan the E1 at the lay over

So first off  Welcome! to my new blog. This is were you'll be able to check up on me and my life on the road. I will try to update you three people reading at least once a week . If you are a stranger or don't remember I am the head of properties on the national tour of Chicago the Musical

Today I am on the second stop of the tour in Appleton , WI, I know show biz is glamorous.  I just came from Charlotte NC where I teched and ran the show for the first time. Earlier in the week it was rough because I was given  three sets of different run sheets and presets. So to say the least the first couple rehearsals were interesting. After we sifted through the paper work we created the final run sheet and the show is now running smoothly. I really have very few cues for the show so I think I'm going to have to find a new hobby and I think cat juggling might be a little too loud backstage.
 The cast is amazing and crew are more amazing, everyone is very easy to get along with. I can't wait to get to know all of them better. I am absolutely in LOVE with Roz Ryan who plays Momma Morton. She is one of the sweetest most loving human beings I have ever met.
 The load out went very smooth in my department I felt my truck pack went really well and i was out of there by 2 am. The only issue i had was the 7:15 flight in the morning  ya it was a blast and to make matters worse the first plane we were on was SO HOT and for a fire eater to say that you know it is the truth. Lets just say the crew was very chipper at that time in the morning. 
 Well kid I'm off to do my second load in of the tour! Wish me Luck!
