"Seasons of Love"

So i thought it necessary it share just a fraction of my New York adventure with you all! I wish I could show you guys all of my pictures, but that would take months...no joke. These are just some of my favs. The top picture is of me and my best friend Courtney, who was supposed to go to the Alvin Ailey program with me, but got injured. She came to NYC to visit me since she couldn't come for the program. We spend literally 4 WHOLE dasy together, no lie. I spent the night with her and her family at there hotel and everything; we never left eachother, except when I had class. But this picture is of us in line to get tickets for Legally Blonde the Musical at 7 AM! We are hideous. The next picture is of me and my other best friend Kelly, who also came to visit me. This is her and I on Broadway and 50th the day we saw the Tony Award Winning Best Musical "Spring Awakening", which was A-MA-ZING! And the last picture pretty much sums up how I felt about my trip. Courtney took this picture in Times Square after we saw Hairspray for the 2nd time. :) My trip was amazing! I learned so much that it would take me a lifetime to explain all of it!

But it's super nice to be home. I got home August 11th, and went back to work August 12th. I was seriously have withdrawls from not performing. So it was SO GOOD to be back on the parade route. School is keeping me busy; all AP classes, plus my 3 performing dance ensembles. I'm also co-directing/choreographing/starring in a musical revue entitled "Together On Broadway- A Musical Revue". The show was written by my two friends and I. I chose all the music and they wrote the script. It's a fundraiser show this girl scout theatre company the director is involved in. So we're hoping to raise LOTS of money. There are 20 numbers in the show, and I'm singing in 13 of them - 2 solos, 2 duets, a trio, and the rest are small/group and ensemble numbers. I'm lovin it...its so much fun creating, performing, and being apart of the production team. I hope everyone can come! The dates are November 1,2,3,4 (Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun). Tickets are $8...i think, don't quote me. So yeah, its gonna be an amazing show. I would reccommend coming either Thurs, Sat, or Sun. We have one of our leads missing on Fri, so people will be filling in for her, including me. So it won't be the show with the normal cast, so I recommend coming either Thurs, Sat, or Sun.

I miss everyone! Hope you all are doing well!

Loooove you all!

Ryan.
