noozies

dear nyc,
          
          damn, its been a minute since I've done one of these. if im being very honest with myself, i don't think i need to and i really never did. yeah, i was young and ecstatic to finally see the city that id heard about and dreamed about, but i didn't need to go all mental about it lmao.
          
          of course i miss it! no one's saying i don't. but, there are other places that im content, not just nyc. the beach, the lake, the river with my friends. my life doesn't revolve around you anymore. and that's okay:)
          
          my life doesn't revolve around theatre anymore either, which is also okay! i have a job, i have school, i have friends that arent in theatre. it doesn't have to be my entire life, nor do i want it to be. i want to be able to have a foot in both worlds, yknow?
          
          anyways. good vibes always.
          
          sincerely,
          me.

Dear New York City,
          
          I’m missing you today, beautiful. I’ve also really been craving a gyro, so thanks for that. But, I’m so very excited for my sixteenth birthday to come around! I’ve been prodding mom to bring me to see the Music Man and West Side Story revivals for the big day.
          
          Sometimes I wonder if it’s even a good idea to dream and to follow all of these actors and dancers and whatnot. It just makes me miss you more and it makes my heart hurt. It’s that feeling when you wish so much that you could be doing this one thing but, of course, you can’t. And it hurts.
          
          But anyway, Young Frankenstein opens on Friday! It’s been a wild ride, but when is it not? I adore my family and I’ll miss them so much it’s unbelievable. I’ll miss our show, too. We put a lot of work into it, believe it or not. We’re not just lazy teenagers (most of the time).
          
          Love and good vibes always 
          
          Sincerely,
          Me

Dear New York City,
          
          I’ll be back soon. :)
          
          Sincerely,
          Me

Dear New York City,
          
          I feel kind of silly doing these now; It's kind of childish, I guess. But, following up from the last time we talked, the Newsies cast list is out! Well, it's more than out now... I've been in the show for at least three months.
          
          Funny story, actually. I was originally casted as Splasher (a newsie) and a goon (during the fight scene in Seize the Day), but my director told me two days ago that, "Hey, you're stepping in for Romeo now because Bella (our former Romeo) can't do the show."
          
          To say that I was excited is an understatement. I'm still slightly bitter about not being cast as Race, but I know that as long as I don't know how to tap, playing a genderbent Race isn't an option. Sure, I know all of his lines, but the iconic tap dancing in King of New York is actually very essential to his character I've seen as I have been delving deeper into the personal meanings of the show.
          
          Go me, I guess. Don't mind me and my bitchy humble bragging lol
          
          Sincerely,
          Me.

i have two questions: what are the newsies and whats AO3

Dear New York City,
          
          The Newsies cast list was supposed to come out today, but it hasn't yet and I'm getting really anxious. I feel kind of optimistic today about my future.  After I sang Think of Me at the music festival, everyone has been coming up to me and telling me how good it was, even my teachers. Maybe I do have a chance.
          
          Sincerely,
          Me.

Dear New York City,

Dear New York City,
          
          Tell Evan and Connor and Jared and Alana and Zoe and Heidi and Larry and Cynthia that I said hello.

          Me

Dear New York City,
          
          All that it takes is a little 
          
          RE-IN-VEN-TION!!
          
          Sincerely,
          Me.

Life is so unfair
