Hedda Hedda

So, it has been forever since I last blogged and I apologize for that. My life has been a little chaotic since I got back from Minnesota December 30th. But things are finally back on track. I've had some good auditions and hopefully will have some more good ones in the next couple of weeks, and I am starting bartending school February 9th, which should be interesting since I don't really drink much and can maybe name a total of 10 drinks, 9 of which i have never tried! However, i was somewhat comforted when i sat in on part of a class and one girl didn't know what was in a Jack & Coke!!!! At least I won't be the biggest idiot in the class!

Anyways, back to the theater world. I told you crazy things happen backstage and at auditions in theater that an outsider would never know occurs. Roundabout Theatre Company has just opened a revival of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler. It stars most notably Mary Louise Parker (Weeds) and Peter Stormare (Recall the woodchipper scene in Fargo). Anyways, the show has universally been reviewed as a disaster. But what led it to this fate? Famous Broadway gossip columnist for the New York Post, Michael Riedel, lends us some insight. Check out his article here. I guarantee you'll find it very interesting. http://www.nypost.com/seven/01282009/entertainment/theater/not_all_right_in_the_hedda_152376.htm
