changeyourstars8So I found out not too long ago that Christian Slater is playing R.P. McMurphy in a stage production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in England. I need to cross an ocean and get there. Now.
But like many other stage shows, I'm going to wait for it to come out on DVD (a.k.a.--- hope really really really hard that they put it out on DVD so poor, pitiful, vaguely obsessive Kansas residents like me can see it)
Actually, what I'd really like to do is play Nurse Ratched. I remember she seriously scared me when I watched the movie, and ever since I thought that'd be a really interesting role to play.
But since I doubt they're going to call me and ask me to play understudy, I'd immediately and gleefully settle for a chance to see the show. lol
*Knows that she cannot afford to fly to England, and her boss would not be happy with her if she did so. Wants to do so anyway*
And speaking of roles I'd love to play... (aside from Lucy in Jekyll and Hyde and Dulcinea in Man of La Mancha) Elphaba from Wicked. I'd heard about the book but I haven't yet read it, and then I saw the performance of "Defying Gravity" at the Tonys-- it's still my favorite piece from the musical; I've been listening to it on repeat for half the day-- and it'd be *so* fun to be in that. I would deal with my fear of heights for that chance. ;-)
For now, though, I guess I'll settle for fantasizing and buying sheet music and DVDs.
