I went to the Sweeney Todd rehearsal Thursday night to take pictures for Jen Hamilton. She is the stage manager at CPCC and always gets us free tickets to any show so I figured it was the least I could do... It was a lot of fun, and it looks like it's going to be a great show. They had a bit of bad news tonight though. Their music director just found out she has leukemia and has to stay in the hospital for 7 days to begin chemo right away. She is in her late 20's or early 30's... what the fuck?! I feel like I am hearing about too much tragedy in such young people. Thankfully her odds of beating this are extremely high so everyone is thinking positive thoughts for now. So because the music director could not be there, they found an amazing lady to come in and play the piano for them. Tonight was the first time for her to ever see the music, and she just sat down and began playing... amazing if you ask me. Because of the late start, they only ran through the 1st act. It was a lot of fun seeing how a show comes together, and to see Jen in action. She is really good at what she does.
