Cabaret Pictures!!!

Finally got my pictures from Cabaret - TADA! They turned out pretty great, I think. ^_^

I really love these pictures of Sierra Sowders, Maria Gomez, and myself. They're from our West Side Story number, I Feel Pretty. Maria played Maria, Sierra played Rosalia, and I played Consuela. On an interesting note, I thought it was pretty cool that all of us actually would fall under the "sharks girls" categories. Maria and Sierra are both half-Latina (not sure if it was actually Mexican or something else, but still. And I'm Filipino, which got conquered at some point by the Spaniards, so it counts! I mean, my last name is Nacionales...) The first picture is just about perfect because it perfectly explains the feelings of the characters during the song.

It was actually one of the better numbers of the show, because it's a very soprano-oriented song, and all three of us have very strong head-voices. Also, I think the second picture is hilarious, because Sierra looks like she's about to kill somebody, I'm freaking out, and Maria's just off in her own little world because she's in love. It's brilliant.

This is me in my black dress. I wore this dress for the opening number, There's No Business Like Show Business! I've had this dress for what seems like forever and a half, so I'm really glad it still fits. I think the last time I wore it was for my Halloween costume a couple years ago - I was Jane, from Eclipse. The evil, sadistic child vampire played by Dakota Fanning. The one who can make people feel pain just by looking at them... o.O

And here are my pictures of me as Elphaba, from Wicked. I was SO excited to be able to sing The Wizard and I in the Cabaret, because I identify so much with Elphaba, and this song (amongst many others from the musical) was one of the things that really kept me going when I was really depressed about how my life seemed to be unfolding. It was really fun, and really funny, because you can barely see the green due to the flash from the camera. In reality, I had green matte all over my face, and a green paste that I rubbed all over my hands like lotion that took four days to wash off completely!
