44 Shows...

So Joseph at Hale is finally over. At the end, I did 44 shows in 8 weeks. That's over 132 up and down groveling on my knees (which is why they now sound like creaky cathedral doors every morning when I wake up).

Overall, it was a great experience (even performing at 7:30pm and 10:00pm on a Friday night, followed by 9:30am and 12:30pm the next day)- and let's not forget that magical Saturday when I did 4 shows in a row- and honestly began hallucinating during the Megamix and thought I had arrived at a disco Celestial kingdom (well, everyone was in white and sparkles- except for Joseph's magical LED-lit coat).

My patient show wife Brittany. Really nice dance partner that megamixed and hoe-downed with me. I repaid her kindness by not breaking her nose (which accidentally happened in one of our shows between husband and wife).

Our dressing room (#1). Ames, David, Casey, Matt, me and Nate. Ames would host his daily pod cast (Podcats), David would lose all of his costume pieces, Nate would yell "ten minutes" with a finger puppet at everyone in the dressing rooms, Casey would sing in the bathroom and Matt would roll his eyes at all of us.


Below is Ames Bell (with some back issue), Casey Elliot (Go Go Joseph) and Dru (pondering his life as Pharoh).

GREAT SHOW EVERYONE!
