What Dreams May Come?

It's been an incredible summer of firsts. What began with a first-- leaving Broadway for the first time in almost 2 years and heading to the Holy Land for a once in a lifetime experience, has just ended tonite, 4 months later, with another first-- a day shooting my first role on prime time television. Here's what happened in between:

Les Miz final perf April 22; first trip to Israel May April 26-May 6; first Drama Desk Award nomination May 20; first time with the Boston Pops June 9-15; first record deal in London June 20-23; first time at Tanglewood (w/Boston Pops) July 9/10; London July 11-19; first concert with Marvin Hamlisch Washington DC July 21/22; first time at the Hollywood Bowl in LA uly 23-Aug 6; first record deal gone sour London August 8-AUgust 16; first day player on episodic tv August 28/29

And now I'm home. HOME...

Such highs and such lows.

So now what? A friend gave me great advice: Breathe. And take some time to appreciate the overload of it all.

And then more dreams of more firsts will come...and that makes me feel lucky and blessed and happy.
