Hi! Figured I'd check in since I've been pretty silent here for about a month or so...
But what a time it has been! I took a mini vacation in L.A. to see two of my grown-up kids and also met fellow CC-er Siberian Katru (Kudzu)! I was impressed at how STABLE the guy is...what's he doing on CC?
Also, in a very roundabout way, I became involved in this production of Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's currently at a limited release and is still being tweaked a bit. The Disney peeps came to see the show Wednesday, as they are very vested in the success of this, and it hasn't been done in a theater-in-the-round before. I am in the cathedral choir. We are in black monk robes and are kind of spooky. We basically sing a lot of stuff in Latin and provide a bunch of Catholic guilt for the villain. For many of the other songs, we are in a sound booth off stage. Lots of running around trying to get to our doors in time as we appear down various aisles.
Anyhoo...here's a clip from our production. The actor playing Quasimodo is deaf and signs the songs, with one of the gargoyles singing the lyrics. I was skeptical how this would be pulled off, but it works because 1) the character is deaf anyways from ringing all those bells his whole life, and 2) the gargoyles are basically his imaginary friends and an extension of his personality.
