This blog has been woefully neglected over the past few months, as I have been rehearsing for both the
Lawyer Show 2012 - Guys & Dolls
, and The Mikado, presented by North Shore Light Opera at Presentation House Theatre in North Vancouver, which opened April 19th and closes on May 5th. The run has been a blast so far, although the houses have been smaller than we would like, despite this
from the North Shore News. Anyway, between rehearsals, performances, and work at DLLG going full speed ahead, I've hardly had a moment to sleep, let alone blog. Today my understudy goes on at The Mikado so I'm taking an afternoon off before heading to a Guys & Dolls rehearsal tonight. Time to catch up on blogging, sleep and laundry.
Our Mikado is set in a cabaret in the present-day and my character, Yum Yum, spends a lot of time on her iPhone - which has allowed me to Tweet, Facebook and text during the show, and also take some great photos onstage and off. I thought I'd share a few here.
The Mikado runs until May 5th. I won't be performing on Friday, May 4th, in order to give my understudy a chance to go on, but come see me any other night! You can buy tickets online

Your table is ready, sir.
