This is my first day off after a first week in the rehearsal room for The Sound of Music at La Mirada Theatre here in Southern California. Our first day back, during the meet and greet, the electricity in the room was palpable, and the emotions were high! All the feelings! This show has such a special place in my heart because it was the first live musical I ever saw as a little girl and the one that put a little spark in my soul for musical theatre. I will never forget the movie either, the soaring vistas of Austria, the songs of the children, the escape over the hills. This cast that has been assembled by our director, Glenn Casale and Producers Tom McCoy and Cathy Rigby is stellar and beautiful. Diane Phelan, who is playing Maria, is the first Asian American to do so! She's lovely and immensely talented. Suzanna Guzmán, a world renowned opera diva from Southern California is our Mother Abbess, and yours truly is playing Sister Margaretta who loves and adores Maria and all of her ways. Our production is also blessed with 15 volunteer local vocalists who will be adding to our nun choir. Should be glorious!! If you are local to SoCal, come see us! Opens April 23, 2022
