Well, just received a happy reminder that I still have a theatre career. The Edmonton Sterling nominations were announced and The Forbidden Phoenix was nominated for outstanding production of a musical. Also nominated was my fight choreographer, Adrian Young.
The Toronto Dora nominations also came out and the play received a nod for Best Musical. My other choreographer, Laura Krewski, got a nod for her choreography. Plus, Richard Lee and Nadine Villasin received acting nods and director Ron Jenkins got a nod as well.
The only weird question I have is that our actors had to switch roles about a week into the Toronto run. Was Nadine nominated for the Phoenix or the Empress Dowager? Hmmm...
Anyway, my heartfelt congratulations and thanks to all the cast and crew who busted their humps putting together the show. I'm glad that the effort was recognized (even if we don't win).
What's the cliche? It's just a thrill to be nominated. Maybe I'll adjust it to this: "as long as I don't see the final score, my team always has a chance of winning the game."
