2010 CLUE

I thrilled at the chance to be in CLUE. I loved playing the game as a child. I really enjoy mystery. It is a favorite genre of mine. When I heard that the theatre in my town would be doing Clue I knew right away who I wanted to be. Mrs. Peacock. I think the actress who played her in the movie is awesome and I love the part. Auditions were scary super talented people. I thought I would not have a chance since most of them knew each other ad I knew know one. Well I knew one my friend Melissa who was going to have a baby tried out.

I am journaling this a year after the fact. I am slowly catching up on my journaling. They were fun auditions. Long but they kept making cuts and sending people home and I kept staying. This was at call backs. I loved at the first audition you found out right away if you needed ot come to call backs. At the end I thought they had chosen myself and another girl for Peacock. But One they choose to be Scarlet did not want to be Scarlet so she and I became Peacock and the other became the cook and she was awesome at it.

Now this is all my guessing I am not privy to the directors thoughts. They were a talented married team. Both wonderful performers. Both super intimidating. I about died when they came to a performance and was devastated they came to our last one as it threw the performance into a weird place. Oh well we wanted to please them and tried too hard I think.

The costumes were out of this world! Custom to each of us and we didn't have to share:) Cool sets and I thought my favorite part was a small olio during intermission with the music from Masterpiece Mystery theatre with gianormous game pieces. We did all three endings so I got to be the murder each night.

I also performed with both casts. I missed my cast as the other cast was full of talent but they did not work as a team. I find that happens when you have a star or they think they are a star and are strong in one area be it acting, dance or singing. This cast is a perfect example you have some strong singers or actors who think they are the bomb and they are ery strong in a area but they look down at everyone else and feel they are the superior cast I got the feeling that I was not all that welcome and they wanted the other Mrs. Peacock.

I loved my double. She is fun and lively and a dear lady. I made many friends and had much fun. What a great way to celebrate the Halloween season We had sold out performances. I enjoyed each person in the cast and had very fond memories of back stage and rehearsals and each performance. What a lucky girl I am to have been a part of the cast of CLUE:)
