Fiddler Update

The Cast!

Our Opening Night was a rousing success-- the house was FULL!!! The kids did such a wonderful job. I am so proud of them all!!!

Tevye and the Fiddler

We still have a few sickies in the cast, but most of them are much better. Luckily, we found some personal mikes for the lead characters, which was good since our Tevye wasn't in full voice last night.

A weak "Mazel Tov"

Me, I still sound like a chain-smoker, but I feel much better. (And I'm sold on the miracles of cayenne hot lemonade!)

Chava and Fyedka

More details to come... We still have two more shows today!

'Nother Update:

It went splendidly! We had three big audiences, very few glitches, and a marvelous time!!! I am so glad we did it-- and it was wonderful to feel the burden lift as I drove home late last night.

My boy got married-- again! (He's Motel, shown here with Tzeitel)

*SIGH*

Mazel Tov!!!

In Which We Are Sick

"Breakfast in Bed" by Mary Cassatt

I've been sick for a week now, a few of the sick kids in our family have recovered, my tiny girls have fevers, and HALF of my cast-- including our Tevye, Golde, my Lliam, and Lazar Wolf-- are not able to talk or sing at present.

Did I mention the show opens on THIS Friday?

I was able to speak at the Forum this past weekend, but only just. I think at least one of my recordings will be unusable. :-p (Darn coughing fit!)

I sit here hardly able to breathe, my throat feeling like I've swallowed shards of glass.

We need a miracle.

And since I know the power of prayer and have experienced first hand the awesome effect that faithful friends can have, I humbly ask any who can to please send up a little prayer or two...

THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!

Love,
Rachel
