My Next Musical Is…
After a year of stepping away from the stage due to GERD, I’m so happy to be returning to the stage in Seussical the Musical as a Bird Girl!
The show will run July 24-August 1 at Mystic Vision Players in Linden, NJ. If you’re in the area please come see it! You won’t want to miss it!
Having stepped away from performing for health reasons, returning to the stage feels like a true milestone. GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) can be especially challenging for singers and actors, as it affects the vocal cords and breathing. Managing it requires lifestyle adjustments and medical care, but the passion for theatre makes the journey worthwhile. Seussical the Musical, with music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, is a joyous celebration of Dr. Seuss's whimsical world. Playing Bird Girl offers a unique opportunity to embody the vibrant, colorful characters that bring this story to life. Rehearsing with a dedicated cast and crew fosters a strong sense of community and shared purpose. If you're a theatre enthusiast or someone curious about musical theatre, I highly recommend attending live shows like this one. They offer more than entertainment—they are experiences that connect audiences through storytelling, music, and performance arts. For those managing health challenges like GERD, pursuing your passions while prioritizing wellness is both inspiring and achievable. Preparing for Seussical involved vocal therapy, careful diet control, and consistent practice to ensure my voice remained strong and healthy. Planning to visit Mystic Vision Players? This venue is known for its intimate setting and supportive audience, perfect for immersing yourself in the magic of musical theatre. I hope my experience encourages others to chase their dreams despite obstacles and appreciate the healing power of the arts.
