Oh my Blog!

We opened Jersey Boys last night at the Ahmanson Theater…finally!!! What a night. Let me just start of by saying (beFORE the reviews come out) that I am so proud of how the show went last night, and the shape that it’s been in recently. We have been rehearsing our butts off to get prepared to put the show up again, and I am so thankful we had that time.

Now let’s get down to the juicy stuff. The guest list was quite impressive last night including Steven Spielberg, Eddie Murphy, Frankie Valli and Frankie Avalon just to name a few. I even got a picture with the great actress, Kate Burton who had nothing but kind words to offer. What an amazing woman! I’ll be posting all the picture, but for now words will just have to be enough.

I do have one question, however. What is the deal with posses? I mean, seriously. I kind of understand needing to be surrounded by people you “trust” to protect you from fans and stuff – and needing someone there to always hold your camera or wipe your butt – but to a muscial? I don’t know. Just a thought. Eddie and Avalon had a couple major posse situations going on – I would love to see those two groups of guys in a bowling match against each other.

Another hilarious thing that I’ve noticed here in LA during the show: people love to wear their sunglasses…during the show. They just won’t take them off. No matter if they’re inside/outside, what time of day it is, or how little light there happens to be. I kind of just love that. Especially because I totally dig my new Prada sunglasses. I think I might even wear them to go see Knocked Up tonight at the Grove.

I have a funny story about my outfit as well, however, it’s just going to have to wait until I post the pictures. As for now, I’m running out to see one of my absolute best friends, Jordan Ballard at her store Diane Merrick. It’s an adorable and chic boutique at 7407 Beverly Blvd. Just sayin’.

    Sounds like you are learning why we Bay Area folks call Los Angeles La La Land… bunch of strange characters down there!

    You are missed in SF, but I am glad to hear the show is going well.
