You want me to...what?


I received a unique piece of direction last night while we were staging the opening number.

"Be a rock star."

If you were in my six-inch platform boots, bowler hat, and sequined pants, and someone told you to "be a rock star" how would you interpret that direction?

I would have asked for clarification. Are you supposed to be a David Bowie rock star, or more of a Jim Morrison?

Or more like whatshisface from Rocky Horror Picture Show. Show up with a chocker of pearls for your next rehearsal. Then, declare loudly, "Hey guys! I have a pearl necklace!" And see what kind of reaction you get.

I think you should rock out with your shirt off.

Matt - This is a family show!

a-dub - Funny you should ask. Both of those names came up last night. I think Puck is supposed to be an Everyrockstar. Does that help?

Queen III - What about fishnets? Should I go with fishnets?

Grant Miller - Shirt...off... (Considers, then throws lunch in nearby garbage can)

And besides, don't you mean "Rock on with your shirt out"?

I think you should make a bold choice. Play Puck like Ozzy!

Ooooh, I think I'm with A-dub. Fork, you'll have to do a lot of eyeliner and probably bite the heads off of some bats onstage. Cool?

Oh, yeah, and you'll have to dribble cuss words, drool on yourself, make sure no one can understand a word you say, and always look freakin' crazy. That'd be awesome.

You could be an aborexic rock star!!!

I think she was telling you to party on that stage like it's 1999!

Or... much like with the 'Earth Mother' the other day, you could just tell them to screw off and let you act. If you want to go that route.

Bats taste yucky.

What about guinea pigs?

In the near future, I hope you will give your readers an update as to HOW exactly you eventually realize this rock star direction, once you have fully transcended into proper rock character. I'm dying to know.
