Who is Julia....What is she?

Ay yi yi!!! We've done A full run through, full of laughs and soul and passion. The show gets better and better the more we read through it and blocking is right around the corner!! Things are taking off like a ROCKET!!!

Who is Julia....What is she?....Julia is a free spirit! She does what she wants which usually leads her into trouble ;) Classically 17 and beautiful. Sort of an 'IT' girl in her small town of Verona. Jerk magnet who is recently single and not ready to mingle....well that's how she plays it anyway, Lucetta knows better!! She's one of those 'glam-hippies' all about peace and love and drugs but too much of a girly girl to be a full on hippie. Julia Sophia Copa's favorite color is lavender and she is a Gemini. Immature, defiant, naive, emotional. Half Cuban, half Black. Addicted to tambourines, hula hoops and bubbles.

Julia will be metamorphosed from hard-hearted girl to love struck dummy! Willing to abandon her small town and venture to a big city only to learn life's lessons the hard way!

I can't wait to start blocking! I can't wait to start choreography! I cant wait for hair and make-up and costumes!! I will be excited until that very last..."YOU CAN'T LOVE ANOTHER WITHOUT LOVING YOURSELF!!!"

Sooooo when it comes to this whole blogging thing, I'm clearly a slacker :p but I'll get better, pinkie promise!! OMG, I can't even begin to explain to u how excited I am to be a part of Two gentlemen of Verona!!! ABSOLUTELY AMP!! The show, the role, the music, the theatre company, the cast!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHH I just can't take it!!! The moment I knew New Line was doing Two gents, I tried to get as familiar with the show as I could. I read the play and fell in love!! Then I heard the music....that funky, sassy, soulful, majestic, party time feel just makes u wanna frolic and snap and groove and sway and clap and tango and hand-jive...all that shit!! I LOVE it!! Working with Scottie I know this is going to be a MASTERPIECE!!!
We've just finished our second week of rehearsals and things are going great. We've learned all the music...which ROCKS...wasn't sure if I mentioned that or not ;) and we've done our read-through. I am thoroughly impressed by the natural chemistry between us all. This cast is amazingly talented!!! I feel lucky to get to work with so many fantastic performers. I'm just excited for things to come, for the opportunity to blossom as a performer with a BAD ASS theatre company like New Line...dream come true!!
Julia is a role with so many dynamics and extremes. Cold hearted, lovesick, territorial psycho, object of affection, chopped liver, drag king.....all over the place. A MESS!! A HOT ASS MESS!!! This will be challenging and that's what I'm craving. Well, I intend to get my fill and savor every flavor of this bitchin show. We WILL be METAMORPHOSED and I can't frickin wait!!
