Alive and Kicking!



Arena tour 2009 has officially begun! I'm back on the road again- this time hitting 33 cities! Double from last year! It's going to be an exciting adventure and I invite you all to take the journey with me. I'll do my best to keep ya up to date with everything happening in Rocketteland!

We started on Tuesday of last week- apologize for my late start, got a new mac laptop before I left home and just turned it on!! (ps- LOVE my new computer, it's so pretty!) This time rehearsals are in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I was a little bummed about not returning to Connecticut this year, but after the beautiful beach day I had there is no looking back. So we are here for a month, living in beach condos by night and kicking in the Waccamaw by day. Let me explain the Waccamaw...the Waccamaw is where we rehearse. It's an old abandon strip mall- I don't know how Radio City found it- and the Christmas Spectacular moved in, turning D-list stores into rehearsal studios, costume shops, and cast lounges. It's really bizarre, funny pictures to come...

This season I'm lucky, and not so lucky, to be in my same line-up spot as last year....third from center on stage left! The not so lucky tag is coming from the fact that the show actually has a smaller line of Rockettes this year- 18 instead of 24. So this means everything is different! All the formations, travels and counts are new. Needless to say, I'm cozy where I am, and SUPER excited that my friend Beth is standing next to me on my short side- just like last year!

I'll leave you all with a funny pic from the first day of rehearsal. It's Christmas time again! Ha! And we gotta ice so our bodies don't break!
