The Understudy: My first Off-Broadway Show in about 4 years – so I was very excited! This play was pretty standard and had a strange rhythm to it. A lot of the jokes you have to be a theatre person to understand. Overall I thought it was entertaining and worth seeing.
Favorite Scene: When the two actors are arguing over how the character should hold the prop gun.
Favorite Aspect: Sets
Need to learn more about: Kafka
Billy Elliot: Billy Elliot was a show that I had no strong interest in seeing until after the Tony Awards. The show is a different type of musical, that is more focused on Music and Dance than singing. I was pleasantly surprised because I didn’t think it was going to be as good as it was. In my opinion, it will join the epic musical club alongside Les Miserables, Phantom, and Miss Saigon.
Playing Billy: Trent Kowalik - This kid is the best dancer I've ever seen on stage - especially tap.
Favorite Number: Tossup between Angry Dance and Electricity –I may like Angry Dance a little more… When you see it you’ll see why it’s so hard to choose between the two.
Favorite Song: The Stars Look Down
Favorite Aspect: Choreography
Song I can’t get out of Head: Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher
Need to learn more about: The UK miners' strike
