Defying Broadway Gravity

11) I have a plastic mold of my head!

The rehearsal was long and tiering but I actually think I did a good job! When Kyle and I sang 'As Long As Your Mine' we acted like nothing happened between us. 'No Good Dead' was so much fun to sing because I was actually aloud to belt out some parts instead of staying quite like usual.

Today is Sunday which means tomorrow I don't have practice so I mine as well make the best of today! I got dressed and did my hair in a matter of minuets (a.n: the picture) without any makeup. I grabbed my messenger bag and put all of my essentials in it; the Wicked script, the Wicked book, phone, keys, earphones, and money. In the hallway I met Kyle,

"Hello Kyle."

"Good morning Tammy!"

I make a face at his nickname for me,

"Tammy? Really?"

"Just thought I would give it ma go. No to Tammy?"

"Yeah..... No."

Kyle's face lights up as he says,

"What about Tam?!"

I nod in agreement saying,

"That's better. Or here's an idea, you could call me Tamsin!"

Kyle laughs,

"Naaaa that's to complicated; I don't think I could pronounce it!"

I laugh saying,

"Can you say Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia?"

Kyle stares at me, blank faces,

"What?"

"Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia!"

"What form language are you speaking?"

I laugh saying,

"It's the word that describes the fear of long words.... Your welcome!"

We both laugh as we step out of the elevator.

"You need a ride?"

I open my mouth to correct him but he stops me,

"Wait I got this, Do you need a ride?"

"Yes I do, thank you."

We both step into Kyle's car. When he starts the car 'This World Will Remember Me' from 'Bonnie and Clyde' starts playing. I smile at his song choice.

"Do you like Bonnie and Clyde?"

Kyle asks as we buckle our seat belts.

"That's the show I was in before I came to New York,"

I yell over the music.

"Thats cool, who where you?"

"Bonnie."

"That's awesome, where at?"

"What are you writing a book?"

Kyle smiles and shakes his head,

"Just curious."

"Okay then, it was The Portland Public Theater or TPT, it wasn't anything special."

I couldn't read Kyle's expression,

"You're from Oregon?"

I sigh,

"No, I was born and raised in Devon England until I was fourteen then we moved to Oregon."

Kyle stares at me again,

"Why don't you speak with an English accent?"

I new this question would come up at one point or another,

"Well I still do at home and stuff but I got used to not using it in public or around strangers,"

I shrug and Kyle looks back over at me,

"You better stop looking at me and more at the road,"

I laugh and Kyle blushes a little.

When we make it to the theater Kyle stays behind while I walk in.

"Hello I am here for the Wicked rehearsal!"

"Oh you guys are doing great, that new Elphaba can really sing, no wonder she got the part!"

I blush a deep red,

"Thank you!"

The lady smiles,

"Regular room."

I walk into the room and see Sadie so I go to sit by her. Seconds later we are joined by Kyle who sits down next to me. We make small talk until Director Mantello stands up to speak,

"Good morning everyone! Today Mary Kay here will be pulling people aside to get fitted for their wigs. First up is Tamsin Gasper."

I stare ahead,

"Why am I first?"

I whisper to Sadie and Kyle before walking towards Mary Kay.

"Hello Tamsin, I am Mary Kay and we get to fit you for your wig now!"

I follow her to an empty dressing room and she sits me down in a chair.

"Okay so first we have to pin curl your hair then we can start."

Mary Lay starts to pin curl my hair and I sigh knowing this will take a while since my hair is so long and thick. About thirty minutes later Mary Kay finishes which is record time for me. She puts a wig cap on me fist then she puts a plastic bag of sorts on my head. My entire head gets taped then Mary Kay grabs a sharpie and starts writing different things on my head. She draws a circle of sorts all the way around my head that represents my hair line then starts measuring my head. When she finishes she just pulls the plastic off my head and it is a complete mold of it. It takes me a little while to get all of the pin curls out but once I do my hair is crazy! I braid my hair on my walk back to the practice room to find no one there.

I walk up to the front desk and ask the lady if she knows where everyone is.

"They went onto the stage."

"Thank you!"

I walk into the auditorium to see everyone dancing and acting the opening number. I clap with Mary Kay when they are finish who takes someone els to get finished. Director Mantello starts with my entrance and went from their. By the time it is lunchtime we are already to 'Popular' which Sadie is having way to much fun with! When lunch rolls around I walk across the street to get a spinach wrap then I sit and read Wicked. When lunch is over we start with the lion cub scene which is/was amazing! It was fun watching everyone freak out after I 'cast the spell!'

When the clock turns 7:40 we are to 'As Long As Your Mine' Kyle and I walk on stage. 'This is going to be awkward' my mind thinks as I walk on stage. We both get down on our knees as Director Mantello told us and start singing the song with all eyes on us, at the end of the song Director Mantello tells us the kiss and we do but it wasn't like the time in the car, this was staged. After wards we choreographed 'No Good Dead' which was quite fun but my mind kept wondering to other things. By 9:00 we finished the entire play and where working on lines in a big circle along with the songs.

"Tuesday we will do a full run through so memorize memorize memorize! Good night!"

(A.n: was that a long chapter? I hope it was!

Guess who's at home sick again? This girl! My nose is so stuffy, you have no idea!
