Back on the road

After enjoying a wonderful time at home in our own beds, it was time to head back out on the road. Luckily Steve and Morgan were able to bring us to the next destination, New London CT. We drove part of the way on Thursday to Lee MA. We spent the night in a very quaint little place. After making our way through the hallway and into the room, morgan and I both felt like the hotel we were staying at was haunted. Luckily we didn't have any visitors during the night and headed the rest of the way to New London on Friday. Once there, Colin had a rehearsal with the rest of the cast. Friday night was the first show after break. Steve, Morgan and I watched both this performance and the Saturday evening performance. Steve brought Colin to the Saturday matinee performance while Morgan and I spent some quality time.
We had a hard time on Saturday saying goodbye to Andrew. Andrew was the dance captain of Oliver. He got another job in 42nd St. As happy as we were for Andrew, we were still sad that he was leaving! Ashley will now be dance captain, and our new male swing is Adam. We got to watch Adam in his first performance Saturday evening and were very impressed at how well he did after just learning his part about a week ago!
Sunday morning all of the NYC castmembers took the bus back to NYC while the rest of us stayed in CT. Steve and Morgan stayed until this morning. We really enjoyed our day off on Sunday together. We did some hot tubbing and swimming, went out to dinner at the Outback, and then met up with other cast and crew members at Chuck E Cheese's! We all had a great time collecting tickets(Morgan lucked out, the game she was on was out of tickets and when the guy came to replace the tickets Morgan was rewarded with hundreds of extra tickets!) Morgan traded her tickets in for cotton candy and matching mother and daughter rings! Colin ended up with a lighted sword. I'm sure we'll all be sick of that by the end of the tour! We discovered that Morgan was still a little nervous around the animated Chuck E and his friends! Everyone else really enjoyed forming a mosh pit around Chuck E and friends while they sang! All and all it was a fun night. The highlight of the evening was each of us getting headshots drawn by Chuck E. Check out the pictures!!
tomorrow we're off to NYC to pick up the rest of the cast and will then head to Huntington WV. We'll be on our new bus, which is much nicer,newer and cleaner than the other one. We have a new bus driver Will, who is great. We still miss John and Kim and hope they are happy in their new job.
I'll keep you posted~
