Helen Hayes Theatre, 44th Street.Holy Balls it's been a while!
Sup y'all!?
So today I came across my blog and realized I haven't written an entry since December 16, 2010. Apologies!
So much has happened since that last entry and I will try to sum it all up for you right here, right now. We closed the Toronto run of Rock of Ages on January 2, 2010 and on January 26, I got a call offering me the job of Franz in the new Broadway company! I was stoked (obviously) as I have been wanting to get to NYC, and of course the big ol' Broad-way, for a few years now. The excitement was a bit clouded by the immense amount of things that needed to be done! I had to get out of my lease, get to NYC and find an apartment, call moving companies to ship my stuff, raise a ton of money for the gargantuan security deposits required here, book flights, squeeze in a quick Mom/Son trip to the Dominican, say goodbye to all of my family and friends, move in, and then start rehearsals!
It's an odd feeling moving from another Country to a new one. This move is for good (I will always have a home in Toronto, but New York is my main address fo'eva!) so sitting in an empty apartment not knowing anyone was a weird feeling to have. I think subconsciously the reason I haven't written a blog entry, is because it probably would have depressed you all! BUT, I started rehearsals, fell in love with this cast, and through osmosis have built an amazing, funny, and might I add very attractive group of friends.
NYC is the concrete jungle that dreams are made of my friends, and I'm experiencing it everyday. It has lived up to everything I thought it would and I'm so excited to see what the future has to bring me. I've been here 3 months and have already done so much, who knows what the next 3 decades has in store!? I'm so excited to find out. The Universe is a pretty amazing thing, and when you are open to accepting whatever it wants to give you, life gets pretty darn magnificent.
Until next time! and I promise there will be a next time...
Cody!
