Quite the interesting weekend.My brother played in the pit orchestra for his school's production of Jesus Christ Superstar. I was impressed...like forreals.
First of all the girl who played Mary Magdalene had an incredible voice. I listened to a recording of "Everything's Alright" and dood, the girl that I saw on Saturday was ten times better than the one on the recording.
And--okay there were a couple guys that they got to dress in these gold speedo/brief/bikini bottom type things (you could tell by the way they moved that they were from the dance department) and like whoa try to get any guy from any other high school to do that. And then try to get them to get up on stage and dance in them. Impossible, no? But by far one of the things that blew me away--when Judas had to kiss Jesus Judas actually kissed Jesus...on the mouth. I guess that's the type of dedication you'll get from an arts school.
On Sunday my brother had a chamber concert at the Huntington Library. It was in a covered area right in front of the art museum. By far the nicest venue they get for their concerts.
Sipping a doubleshot right now. I'm so tired.
