Cabaret’s Musical Director, Ms. Gualtieri, is recovering from a nasty bout of pneumonia, which scared all of us pretty badly. With her out of commission, rehearsals have been limited. Ms. Smith, assistant to the Musical Director, could not always make rehearsals plus we hadn’t recorded many of the songs at this point in the process. The flood that we all faced during the first week of April didn’t help either, as many practices had to be cancelled due to the fact that we’d all have to arrive by boat. As we helped our parent’s pump out our basements, we all prayed for Ms. Gualtieri speedy recovery and wish her the best.

But now it’s finally that time. Mrs. Kavanagh has started to “costume” more and more girls and we’ve finally been told to “get our hair out of our eyes.” This, as many cabaret-ers will tell you, is the starting point.

April vacation began today and I’m thinking that we all have mixed feelings on the topic. Some of us, particularly the seniors are excited; hanging out with friends, being in this magnificent show. But some of us – mostly the guys and gals who haven’t done this before – don’t really know what they’re in for. Practice this week will be every day from 9:30 to 4:00. While our friends relax, sleep in and catch up on homework, we’ll be trying to fit that in between blocking numbers, vocal rehearsals, dance practice and costume fittings.

But, like we always do, we’ll pull together and this year’s show will be just as phenomenal and outstanding as the others that have gone before us. I wish luck and good health to all of us.
