More reason to come see Utopia

[chanaleh]

[Quick context: Gilbert & Sullivan's Utopia, Ltd. is set on the South Pacific island of Utopia, which decides that it is henceforth going to model itself on glorious England... with hilarious consequences. Or, at least, lengthy musical ones.]

For Act II, we dress up after the British fashion, but in Act I most of us are costumed as Utopian natives. So at last night's rehearsal I got my (mostly finished) costume for Act I.

Most of the chorus women are wearing sarongs (with T-shirt-style tops). Mine is, instead, a skintight stretch tropical print halter dress (ankle-length). It is DANGEROUS! I think it might be the first G&S costume I actually enjoy more than my Iolanthe faerie getup (see userpic).

Oh yeah, and I also sing a brief solo verse in the opening number, in which we lounge languorously about the stage. Performances April 4-13. Reserve your tickets now. :-)

Dang, first I miss jhitchin in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, now I'm going to miss the pleasure of seeing you in a skinti... er, seeing you in Utopia, Limited (which I don't think I've ever seen in person, although I had a more-or-less complete recording, as well as the script, and think it's hilarious...)
Sigh, I wish I lived somewhere that had good live theatre -- that featured my friends.
