Hey Peeps!
I wanted to stop and take some time to share some of the “behind the scenes” clips from over the past couple of weeks of me preparing for the show! By the way, my husband Terrence Lewis is the bomb dot com! #MyfavoriteMusician he got on the keys for me when I asked him to please help me prepare for the rehearsals that were coming up for the different song numbers I’d be singing for the show… I LOVE YOU TERRENCE, and want to publicly thank you!!! Anyway peeps, I Would love for you to come out and see the show 🙂 It’s an AMAZING CAST of people. They’ve been wonderful to work with! If you enjoy SPOOFS and down for some COMEDY that will have you laughing, straight crying and busting at the seams… 😂 then come see DISASTER! Take a look as I was practicing one of the songs “Mahogany” for the show. 👌🏽😉 A great song from the 70’s! #Nostalgia #Mahogany #DianaRoss She is STILL an all time great!
Approximately a month ago when I made a decision to audition for a musical production that I’d received an email about from Lacomedia (A Taste of Broadway) Dinner Theater. It was for the slapstick comedy and musical production of DISASTER!.. where the scene takes place in the late 70’s Era.. with bell bottoms, afros, platforms, disco music, and dances like the hustle! Lol! Well, following my audition, I’d received a phone call to be hired and offered the role of Levora Verona- Disco Diva! My family and I are excited for me to be taking on this principal role and having fun doing so in this chapter of my life. I am always encouraging my daughters to go after their goals and dreams and to have fun using their gifts and talents along the journey… they’ve been such an inspiration to me and have made me proud of their accomplishments thus far in the area of drama and music theater… they know I have a performing Arts background in drama /theater and vocal music and they’ve been wanting to see me in a production for some time now… well now it was my turn to give them and my amazing husband something to come and see all while reminding the girls that whether young or a bit “seasoned” as I am now, lol, that what “God has for you IS for you!” This recording artist is Excited About Theater!!!

I went for an audition back in July for the Musical Production of Disaster… a 70’s Slapstick comedy by Seth Rudetsky, which played on Broadway. For my audition I had to choose a disco song from the 70’s/80’s era and sing a verse and chorus of it. When my husband saw me looking over different songs to choose from he encouraged me to do “Radio” by Donna Summer. He felt my tone would fit it well. Well, to feel the disco vibe as I practiced for my audition, I went out and purchased some disco balls for the atmosphere, LOL! Here’s a video of me practicing… the one in person with the director went much better, lol, but here’s what I got…
Check out some of the comments below that I received when posting this practice audition on Facebook!
