From the opening monologue to the closing curtain, every scene has built toward this moment.
Just a little show called Wicked comes to town and introduces our protagonist to an amazing world of color on stage. This alters the course of history sending us on our path to Times Square.
Some things alter the way you look at the world and an undefeated little league championship happens only once in a lifetime. Adversity is overcome in the championship game where they didn't even have enough players to field a full team.
In many cases the biggest challenge is stepping into the audition room, but the subsequent step onto the stage fills your heart with the joy of the world. Mean Girls showed what could be with the right focus and determination.
You don't have to hitch a ride with the apex predator to get to the top of the mountain. Untying the knots built the character that she truly wanted to be unlocking the game with Cinderella. A true performer on stage and off shines through and leads a company to excellence, and that's how the Game of Tiaras is played. Boo-yah!
Not all endings go as we want, but lucky for us this is only the ending of the first act. Leading from within is a skill only the greats truly master and perception is only the reality you create it. The Oracle in The Lightning Thief developed poise and skills only necessary for those whose story continues into Act II.
The script is still being written, but the preview looks extraordinary.
Familiar territory isn't always the easiest path. We're headed to perform for the masses on a stage we've already seen. Will we fill an iconic role, or sing Americana with our heroes or be relegated to a bellhop?
We're headed to the lights of the theater district where the stakes are high and the rewards defy gravity. Will we play the Gershwin, or their basement, or perhaps a run at Ellens?
A seemingly safer option, featuring more training, more auditions, and leading to more stages, but still equally riddled with hurdles. Who's in this show? Check the board at the door. Will she have her chive moment? Will she be in the market for a refrigerator (box)?
