"Impossible Things Are Happening Everyday!"

Very rarely will I post twice a day, but yet here I am.

Since I did not post about Cinderella this week, I shall do it now!

So Cinderella takes a twist from the 1950 cartoon Disney version. Yes, the basic story line is the same, but  there are some interesting changes.

"You're Fat And Old, But Baby Boring You Ain't!"

Happy July! I cannot believe we are already halfway through vacation (in the US at least). As usual, a lot has changed since my last post--for starters, I started working at my local theatre company yesterday as the Assistant Costumer and I am pretty excited about that! (Advertisement moment; anyone that happens to be in or near Concord, NH this weekend, go see Cinderella Jr.! Tickets are $12 and you can see the show either Friday @ 7 PM or Saturday @ 2 PM or 7 PM.)

I will post more about my costuming later in the week, when I have actually done more with it than one day.

Anyway, this weekend I saw the Junior version of Hairspray, performed by the teen cast of the local theatre company I am working at (which, alas, I could not work on).

"I've Got A.... Lot of Self-Esteem!"

You would think even though it is now summer, I would have more time to blog on here. Alas, I do not. I am currently working at the Boys and Girls club in my hometown for a few weeks until I work for that theatre company I briefly mentioned as the Assistant Costumer.

So I have news--I am now one of the four Narrators in Into the Woods Jr. (It's a theatre camp with 35 kids, a lot of changes had to be made.) But I am happy I have a speaking role at least! (Note to self: start learning lines soon.)

Recently, an individual that goes by the name Jon Cozart (YouTube name is Paint) just recently released a sequel to After Ever After, which is a video about the reality of various Disney princesses after they achieved their 'Happy Ever After'--Ariel's home is destroyed because of the BP oil spill, Jasmine is upset because the CIA is questioning Aladdin about being linked to Al-Qaeda, Belle is being charged with Bestiality, and Pocahontas becomes murderous because of the disease-bringing Europeans. Here is the original video if you want an idea about how Paint portrays the princesses in the first video.

The sequel describes the reality of four more Disney princesses, some that are good and some that are bad--Mulan wants to become a man, Cinderella is put in a mental institution after recounting , Tiana's cafe is hit by Hurricane Katrina and she suffers in the aftermath, and Elsa becomes a dictator after her town is melted away because of Global Warming. 

(This is related to theatre because of two reasons--three out of these four movies have been or are going to be put onstage in a musical form and I, a thespian, enjoy the video to an extreme measure.)

Here is the video, and I promise I will try to post more often!

Carly Rae Jepsen as Cinderella?

Despite the backlash she's getting because of "Call Me Maybe", Carly Rae Jepsen doesn't sound that bad as Cinderella.
