Rent and Wicked

Filed under: Uncategorized — Analucia Castillo at 11:44 am on Friday, May 14, 2010

A little known fact about me: I am a Broadway Diva. It is very ironic that one of my close friends works for the Theater Development Fund, which provides tickets to Broadway shows at a lower cost. My two favorite shows: Rent and Wicked. I fell in love with Rent and saw this play when it was in its last season. I saw Wicked twice. I think I watched Wicked because when it opened back in 2003, my eighth grade teacher, who works for the Booth Theater (Next to Normal is playing there and was directed by the same director as Rent), suggested that we go and see the show. At that time, Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth (currently in Promises, Promises) were the lead females role playing Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. The show was sold out. We watched instead Fiddler on the Roof, with Alfred Molina(who now is in Red and I was offered to watch Red but unfortunately I did not see it). I bring this up because on my Pandora a song called Finale B is playing and I absolutely love it. I have my Broadway music under Glee Music and decided to add along with it music from Rent and Wicked. I wanted to put up some lyrics but then I was taken somewhere else. I wanted to heard the song then I remember that someone recommended this website. It is a website where you can look up a song and it can be played for you. The good thing about it is that it is totally legal too!

Okay, well I have to go back to work. I’ll update you on Sunday with what happened during the week and my schedule for next week. Until then.

Monologue

Filed under: Uncategorized — Analucia Castillo at 12:29 am on Monday, May 10, 2010

I am a busy person. I like that I can be relied on by people who think that they can count on me. I always have to show that I am good person, capable of doing everything even if I don’t have time to do it. I am an introvert but people think I am an extravert. It’s funny because I am always around people and then I need to make time for myself. I feel that I would let people down and I cannot allow myself to do that because I think that they expect a lot out of me or maybe I expect a lot out of myself. I like being around people that are good people. I want to tell her, my best friend Sarah, that I am truly sorry for everything that happened in that past. I want her to know that I love her and need her because she has been my best friend since first grade. I’m remembering the time that Christian, my current boyfriend, told me that my hair was on fire when I was not paying attention to him when I spoke to him on April Fool’s. Ironically, later on that day, I asked him to prom.Two weeks later on April 18th, we started dating and here we are today going out for two years. The song that I chose to reprensent my mood was Salvame (translation is Save Me) by RBD because in high school I guess I used to fake smile because I truly did not what people to get to know about me and I think now I’m more in touch with my feelings with who I am and do not care what people think about me anymore especially with whom I have become.
