User blog:Anonymos/This is random, but I wanted to blog about my production of Oliver!

Well, right now I'm in a production of Oliver, which is based off of the novel by Charles Dickens. I am playing Mr. Bumble, the man in charge of the workhouse where Oliver lives. I get my own musical number! Even though I pretty much mess it up all the time... The first time I ran it on stage I needed three tries to get it right. Mostly it was nerves.

Anyway, there's this musical number called I'd Do Anything which is my most favorite song from Oliver. I have a couple of really good friends from the cast in that number, so it's really fun to watch them do it. I personally am not in that song, although I wish I was. Well first of all, one of my friends is playing the Artful Dodger, who is one of the best pickpockets in Fagin's gang. Fagin is the head pickpocket, but anyway, my friend who plays the Artful Dodger has to dance with Nancy, another main character. The choreography is really good, but it's not the original choreography we had planned for that number. They had to change it because my friend who plays the Artful Dodger is short, and they couldn't see him behind the girl who plays Nancy. They kept the original choreography for when Oliver dances with Bet, Nancy's friend, because the two people who play Oliver and Bet, both friends, are roughly the same height. However, that's not my favorite part of the song. There is a dance break where three couples of pickpockets dance together, and one of the couples is one of my friends who I've known for like, forever, and my new friend who plays the Artful Dodger, and it is the most adorable thing ever!!!! It's so cute!!!!

Okay, so there's this other song in the show called You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two, where my friend who've I've known for like, forever, gets to do this little bouncy, feminine walk, which ultimately ends up with her stealing one Fagin's handkerchieves. She does it so well! I'm surprised she didn't get a better part. It's probably because she isn't very loud...

Well, my friend who plays the Artful Dodger, is like my bodyguard! People try to hug me, and I don't let them, so whenever they attempt to hug me, my friend doesn't let him. I'm gonna give hugs on the last day I will see them, though. The one who plays the Artful Dodger is my favorite new friend. I made a lot of new friends, but the performance is on Thursday... And the last time I will see them is on Friday! I will miss them so much! I'm gonna try and get phone numbers and email addresses from them so that I can stay in touch.

So that's all I will say about the show for now. I'll blog about the performance on Friday, probably.
