It's a super early start to the day for the cast and crew of Mary Poppins..that's me.

As for today is break down day for the set of Mary Poppins.

I'm always amazed at the process of setting up right up to a complete breakdown a week later. 

Then doing the whole thing again in another city.

Everything is so precise... so smooth and timely.

Everything is arranged in the theatre moving trucks right down to exact categorized sections.

The whole process always amazes me.
Every single Broadway production I've worked for are sticklers for organization.
I commend the process

I enjoyed being a part of the Mary Poppins crew.....absolutely memorable.

Thank you for coming to ABQ!

It's a pleasure working with you.

Les Mis strike down

It's going to be another long night on the set of Les Misérables.

Tonight the show ends its tour date of Albuquerque

All the props, costumes, wigs, lighting, cables and actors head off to Costa Mesa, California.

Below is a photo of the break down process that happens after the show ends. 

Even as the audience begins to leave the theatre.......the big trucks are waiting.

Its all a pretty AMAZING process.

 I enjoyed working with the Les Mis touring crew.

Everything ran so smooth.

I was inspired by the organization and leadership skills.

Great job!!!

When was the last time you went to see Les Misérables?

See it soon... a number of people worked hard to put on this wonderful show.

I'm honored to say I was part of that team!!

call the babysitter, Les Mis is in town.....

Feeling excited...
Tonight I worked for the theatre stage production of Les Misérables.
I enjoy all that go into the BIG touring show.
The flooring, stage setting, back drops, costuming and wigs; the musical accompany, the high definition projections.
Tomorrow is opening night......

This is Cameron Mackintosh's newest 25th anniversary production of Boublil Schönberg's legendary musical Les Misérables, with glorious new staging and dazzlingly reimagined scenery inspired by the painting of Victor Hugo. This new production has been acclaimed by critics, fans and new audiences and is breaking box office records wherever it goes. The New York Times calls this Les Misérables "an unquestionably spectacular production from start to finish." The London Times hails the new show "a five star hit, astonishingly powerful."

I ♥ my job...

theatre and culture makes our day....

Double field trip for me, with my Sweetheart and Cookie, to Popejoy Hall.
Today we enjoyed Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters--An African Tale.
This theatre presentation is based on a Reading Rainbow book by John Steptoe and was presented by the Dallas Children's Theater.
Let me tell you......they did a great job!
the performance was......... (Cookie says: ENERGETIC)
the music and dance was......... (Sweetheart says: POWERFUL)
the set was.........(Cookie says: AMAZING)

We stayed for the Q & A session after the performance.
The performers answered as many of the children's questions as they could.
--They stayed even longer to answer more questions..........(Sweetheart and Cookie say: THANK YOU)
The children were intrigued by the colorful costumes
--One of the performers is also the costumer for the group.........(Cookie says: SUPER talented)
The audience was impressive with the beautiful set
 --The performers showed us how easily the set is unpacked and repacked very quickly......(Sweetheart says: MASTERFUL)

Cookie and Sweetheart were astonished at the lamps that looked like real torches.
They think you're BRILLIANT!
