Lame show, great friends

It has been four and a half years since I've been in a musical! That last musical was Damn Yankees in early 2003.

As a theatrical experience, it was less than great. I was in the women's chorus, which does almost nothing in the show. Seriously: I sang in half a song, danced in a song and a half and had about three lines. It didn't help to be working with a director who treated non-leads as unimportant.

As a life-changing experience, however, it is one of the pivotal moments in my life. It was through Damn Yankees that I met some of my closest, dearest friends. (And through them, I met other close friends.)

I think that might be another reason why I don't turn up my nose at tiny roles or bland shows.
