ok, wow. it's been a LOOOOOOOOONG time since I've updated.
over a month. that should be a record or something. ok from the beginning, New layout! Phantom of the Opera is now the longest runing show on Broadway-they had a special performance and gala for it. w00t. I didn't get to go <_< but thats the banner.
I chatted with Gary and Beth after the show in Dec. got some very helpful voice tips from the both of them. basically, go ORGANIC, no sugar and no concentraited carbs (no wonder Beth is so TINY), so I'm giving that a try. so far its proven pretty true, I've improved by two notes, I can now sing a high B natural clearly and can touch on a high C, but I can't hold it just yet. Anyway, we had a grand ol' time. and here's some random quotes from the two of them, just becuase...yea. we're just that cool.
<Katelyn> once again, I'm still impressed that you have such an amazing voice because ur so tiny!
<Beth> Ha Katelyn! I'm pretty big!!!
<Jstarz927> Beth, you're the same size as me, that is definitely not big 
<Katelyn> heck I'm 15 and 5'8"
<Katelyn> lol
<Gary> Kate! You're 15???
<Gary> You're DAD looked young too
<Katelyn> lol, yea
<Gary>I thought you were much older
<Katelyn> Ha, nope I'm not ;)
<Liti> katelyn, you're lucky you're tall
<Katelyn> Beth-I've been taking voice for a year now, and does it help to avoid sugar?
<Beth> I am the food nazi at home. right, Gar?
<Beth> I don't know about for the voice Kate, but in general it's hard NOT to get corn syrup solids in Everything
<Beth> you'll notice a big change when you cut it out...and I don't mean just blatent sugar (candy, etc)
<Beth> ..I mean even breads, and ketchup
<Katelyn> it has helped a bit--I hit a high 'C' today, and was thrilled
<Beth> yeah
<Beth> I love high notes; was never afraid even when your age...(maybe I should have been! ha)
<Katelyn> I love it when I HIT the high notes
<Liti> Apparently having a baby improves your voice
<Katelyn> lol
<Beth> I had my tonsils out in college and was up the whole night in the pediatric wing singing arias, afraid I'd never sing again!!
*Later*
<Beth> everyone can sing..don't let anyone tell you can't. It's joy for the soul....express yourselves!
they're amazing people. But I've already posted and gushed about them . Oh, and they will sadly not be staying with the tour. the two of them and their family will be leaving the tour. their last performance is April 4th.
what else...oh! sets for Beauty and the Beast have been comming along WONDERFULLY, the show opens Thursday February 23rd and plays through that Sunday, so everyone better come and see it  And while I'm thinking of musicals and music, voice has been going beautifully!
oh, I saw Amadeus the other day. two words :Psycotic laugh. I swear Tom Hulce is the only guy who can laugh like that. I don't know if it's hysterical or creepy 
*sigh* I KNOW I'm forgetting something and I'm going to edit this later, but I just needed to UPDATE (imagine that!)
