That's a Wrap for "That's so Fetch"

By


Y'all seemed pretty excited when you arrived at Mean Girls this past weekend and I was flipping through the iconic "Burn Book" to see if your name was indeed in it (hehe). But I was even more excited to see so much pink walking through the doors of the Concert Hall. That was so FETCH!

      

It was an excellent week to be a high school theater kid in Huntsville! We had two cast members from the Mean Girls tour teach workshops to 40 students from the Tennessee Valley area. Ryan Vogt taught them choreography from "Fearless" which is at the end of Act I. And Lucas Hallauer gave them individual coaching on a short song of their choice. What a treat for these high-schoolers to work with actual cast members from this national tour! These two guys couldn't have been nicer and more positive sharing their gifts with the young talent of Huntsville.

And of course we can't forget our homage to Mean Girls at Tinsel Trail! It's right downtown at Big Spring Park, where there are over 400 trees sponsored by local businesses, promoting holiday cheer and community spirit. And you can still visit it until December 31, 2023. And if you listen real close you might even hear something... "On Wednesdays we wear pink." ...


  
And what was the word on the street about Mean Girls you might ask? How about we let you hear it directly from some of the audience members themselves:
  • Best season ever. Loved the show! - Song F

You might have seen me as Enjolras in Les Misérables, Munkustrap in Cats or Prince Charming in Cinderella. I used to perform in many Broadway Tours all across the country. Now I report on them and give you an insider's view into this unique little world. So, let's talk about all things Broadway!

  Sharon Wheatley, original Broadway cast member of “Come From Away”,  sets the record straight   Having the distinction of being the only actress who’s performed in the Broadway productions of Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera and Cats (the final company) among others, Sharon Wheatley was taking a break from New York City when fate intervened and brought Come From Away and her together. Sharon was living in San Diego in 2015 when she received a Facebook message from a casting director saying that she’s perfect for this new show that is originating there, and they needed a local hire. Well Broadway was calling her back to NYC and the rest is history. What was it about Come From Away that persuaded you back to New York City? Come From Away is not a traditional musical. We just happen to be singing as we tell this beautiful story. There are only three applause breaks in the whole show. This one is special! There have been a couple of misconceptions about this show, fo

  You might be thinking how in the world did we see 11 Broadway Shows in 3 Days? Especially when Pretty Woman: The Musical was about to play here in Huntsville for five performances. Well, we divided and conquered is how: half of us flew to NYC for a long weekend, while the other half stayed in Huntsville to prepare for Pretty Woman’s arrival. We’re all exhausted, but we’re all equally inspired! Pretty Woman was a big success. BIG! HUGE! The audiences loved it. And now that they’re off to their next tour stop, I can share our reviews on the 11 shows we saw in NYC: The Great Gatsby : The show was visually stunning. A big splashy Broadway musical for sure with the sets & the costumes, set in the 1920’s, and what a feast for the eyes! Jeremy Jordan was outstanding. We’re still in shock that he didn’t receive a Tony nomination for this one. We highly recommend The Great Gatsby if you’re a fan of the book and/or the movie(s). Andrew pointed out how he’s always felt connected to
