I'm still owed colours for the singing contest of eons past. There are dreams that cannot be.
Hark! Harold the angel sings.

Good god! You sing, too?! You must be some kind of Renaissance woman.

Cerridwen — 5 years ago(April 28, 2020 01:26 AM)

I do. I did a lot of musical theatre as a kid. You should be giving me a noogie rather than complimenting me.
Hark! Harold the angel sings.

I’m sorry. Can you please repeat that? Am I drunk right now?

dbentley666 — 5 years ago(April 28, 2020 02:27 AM)

Which part?

[fgadmin]

Penny — 5 years ago(April 28, 2020 02:28 AM)

The part where you said you were in Cats?

dbentley666 — 5 years ago(April 28, 2020 02:30 AM)

I was. A local production. Not Broadway, not London. Not the movie(s).

Actually, I did look a bit like that! I had a nice costume but I wasn't a particularly good singer, so it was all about the make-up.

I had fleas, too. I was a method school actor.

Bee — 5 years ago(April 28, 2020 03:13 PM)

Oh…less adorable. Still awesome though

They were performing fleas. They did a trapeze act with tiny trapezes made out of silk.

Did they sing? I picture them with Italian accents

Yep. La Scala di seta, by Rossini. The first tenor was crushed by accident on opening night (someone dropped a screen on him) but the show received rave reviews from the press.

I bet that theater is haunted now. Fleas probably refuse to play there. Theater folk are very superstitious -fleas even more so

True. The production of Macflea, for instance, was dogged by bad luck. The three fleas playing the weird sisters fell into their pot by accident and drowned (or were boiled alive) and Macflea himself got lost in Birnam woods and was never seen again.

I had no idea how dangerous theater work was for fleas. I'd say they should quit the business altogether but everyone knows they're natural performers
