I graciously hooked arms, lightly resting my fingertips in the crevice. "Hm, my favorite gig?" There had been so many productions with so many favorite memories, it was hard to choose one. "Guys and dolls."I decided, thinking over how well the musical had gone."The cast was amazing, the choreography was beyond fantastic and the costumes? They were a miracle to the show, we barely had gotten everything together by tech week, that was truly a miracle. "I spoke, grinned widely as I thought back." Thought the story was lovely too." My mind wondered for a moment, reflecting back until I pulled myself back to the current moment. " Are there any roles you'd really like to have? Any role, even if it's far off in the future, the role you'd most like to have, what would it be?"
I nod and smile. "Musicals are always a blast. There's something... special about describing things in song that just stays with you. Though..." I look into the middle distance and chuckle. "I've been in more than one musical that was just a logistical nightmare. No one knew where they were supposed to be or where to go."
But at your question, I furrow my brow and look at you for a moment in thought. "Hmmm... I've always wanted to be the lead in something big and heroic. Maybe a Shakespearian hero, Hamlet or Henry, something epic that I can look back on and feel good about for years afterwards."
"Alright, your turn. What role do you most want to play?"
I nodded in agreement, thinking about all the musicals I had grown to love over the years. "It may seem a little silly, especially compared to such big roles as Hamlet and Macbeth, but I've always wanted to play Satine from Moulin Rouge. " I said, smiling a bit sheepishly. "Kind of obscure, but it was one of the first musicals I saw and I'm a sap for dramatic love stories. " I let out a small laugh,"I always love me some good,dramatic,love stories." We had walked far enough to come across a crosswalk. I glanced in both directions, waiting for a decent chance to dash across. In view across the street on the opposite side sat the little restaurant on the pier. It was a cute and quaint little place. It was only a floor tall, but was decently large. At this time of day, it was still fairly empty, but people were beginning to show up.
