"It's a Wonderful Feeling…"



‘Tis the season, folks!  I know, I know.  It isn’t even Thanksgiving yet, but I have been in full Christmas spirit since the beginning of November.  I realize that many of you out there are not so keen on the holly and the ivy just yet, but this is my blog and I shall do what I want.  All of that to say that I hope this finds you in festive spirits, surrounded by those near and dear to your hearts.

In shortly over a week I am heading back to Los Angeles to begin rehearsal for the Nieuw Amsterdam.  Yes, that is a cruise ship, and yes, I have been on it before.  It was, by far, my favorite contract to date and I am very excited to return.  (Sidenote:  there are people from all of my previous contracts that I love very much.  The Nieuw A was the best due to the combination of shows, cast, and itinerary.  Also, it is simply my personal opinion.)  The itinerary for the ship will be a bit different this time.  We will be starting in the Caribbean before crossing the Atlantic to the beautiful Mediterranean, where we will enjoy several overnights in ports such as:  Barcelona, Venice, and Istanbul.  Buh-leh-sing!  I will update you on the full itinerary in a later post.  Let me just say that these ports of call are fantastic!  If anyone is interested in taking a free cruise, do let me know.  You just have to cover your airfare to Europe.  E-mail me for more information:  j_kuba@yahoo.com.

Before all of that excitement, I will be in L.A. for six weeks of intense rehearsing.  I do have the added benefit of knowing all of the shows, but a brush-up never hurt anyone, right?  I am very much looking forward to this time of reunions and, after the past few weeks, activity.

What are you up to?  Tell me everything, darlings!

I will post more about rehearsal and my time in LaLa Land as it happens.  (I know, you’ve heard that before.)  Okay, I cannot promise that it will be timely, but I promise that it will happen…eventually.

 For now, take care of yourselves.  Enjoy all the joy and blessings of twerking your turkeys while having a kiki with your loved ones.


Muah!
