‘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.
Muah!
