starting in a little under two weeks i will be starting rehearsals in a local production of Once On This Island! the show is about an island that is divided into rich and poor people. also, the poor people pray to the gods asaka(earth), agwe(water), papa(mama) ge(death), and erzulie(love). Daniel, a rich guy, crashes his car and is found by Ti Moune, a poor girl, who nurses him back to health. after he goes home she finds him in the city and becomes his mistress. but later he marries another rich woman instead of ti moune for the sake of society and ti moune dies in the street. but then she is reincarnated into a tree.
yea..........it doesnt make much sense to me either.
its supposed to be a retelling of the little mermaid, but i dont see it that much. only in the whole marrying another woman then dying part. this is the hans christian anderson version in case u hadnt realized. this aint no disney story.
i will be playing a storyteller and the understudy for ti moune. its gonna be a lot of work but i have many good friends in the show with me so i know its gonna be alot of fun! i love musical theater and cant wait to start rehearsals!
