Hey Everyone!!! long time no see! as promised, i'm doing a blog post all about my experience with doing "Urinetown: The Musical" at NOCCA. I played the role of Penelope Pennywise, and i couldn't have asked for a better role to play. I honestly had the most fun i've ever had on stage with these very talented actors! i'm so blessed to have been given this opportunity. our run ony lasted one weekend, and i really wish it would've lasted another month! Everyone who saw it loved it and thought it was very funny and professionally done. what made this production so great was that all the creative team members were so talented and made the actors look so good! it also helped to hve insanely talented actors playig not only the lead, but also the ensemble!
now onto my role: Ms. Pennywise. she is the only character role for women in the show. she is a big role with one crazy song, called "Privilege to Pee". the song went up and down and everywhere in between and it was not an easy song to sing but many people told me i sang it well. what i loved about playing Pennywise was the humor that i had to portray. her character is fll of melodrama, which is very fun to pla onstage. i got a lot of laughs because of the faces and gestures i made, but i also got laughs by how i would say lines. i really hope i get to play this role again because i had so much fun playing it, and i would love to pick up the script for "Urinetown" and interpret the role differently even though i was hppy with how i played it.
so that's really it for now. what's next for is preparing for college auditions as well as auditions for NOCCA'a poduction of "The Secret Garden". wish me luck!! i will try to keep ypu updated on everything!
XOXO
Rachel
