My troupe is performing the show "Gypsy."
This is their 2nd weekend with 2 more to go. I found myself in tears today thinking about them singing "Let Me Entertain You," and "Little Lamb" and "Gotta Get a Gimmick."
The tears came because I will not be singing those songs this weekend. The lights won't dim and the butterflies won't rise in my stomach as I anticipate the packed house. I miss all that.
I wish I could be with them.
I wish them a great run.
Break a leg, dear friends.

I only did two plays in high school, but every time I go to a show I get that tingling. There really isn't anything like it. I have even jumped out of a plane...being on stage is better.
