Last night we had Caged Dames rehearsal -music. Jon Steinhagen has written some pretty awesome arrangements for many of the songs in addition to Annie Clapper’s already awesome arrangements and Andra Velis Simon is teaching them to us. I have to say the cast is pretty stoked about the changes so hopefully the audience will be too. We’ve been rehearsing for 2 weeks now. Boostin’ replaces I Had a Mink and one of the advantages o f a remount is being able to write with certain people in mind since well, you sort of know who’s going to be singing what. The song fits the the show better as it is about the life of a high end shoplifting broad, and who better to sing that then Tina Haglund?

When I got home Christopher surprised me with many of our Christmas decorations displayed on the dining room table. I had planned on starting this project but of course Chris’s plans supersede all others. I happily started the process of packing all the delicate little porcelain cottages and glass ornaments away. I’m such a good wife.

PS- Happy birthday to Handbagger and STUD ELF w/buttless chaps, Chad McLaughlin.
