Long time no see. Today, we dive into the fifth installment of The Chaz Chronicles, documenting my journey with the musical Newsies and my unexpected friendship with touring cast member Chaz Wolcott. (Read Part I, Part II, Part III, and Part IV to catch up).
Close to four years have passed since the events of Part IV. Chaz has since relocated to Pennsylvania to teach at Pennsylvania State University. (Though he has since accepted a new position at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music CCM), How I envy all the students who get to have his in-person mentorship and lessons. And if you want to fill in the gaps of what all happened between then and now in my life, I suggest poking around this and my other blog, debdeclamations.wordpress.com. Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of Twilight as it became my primary obsession.
Now that’s not to say my Newsies obsession ever truly went away. It just wasn’t the obsession I spent the most time and energy on anymore since falling headfirst back into the world of sparkling vampires. But heaven help anyone who had to chat with me this past year because unhinged fansie rose up like a phoenix to combine with unhinged Twi-hard to create a mutant fangirl.
What brought about this change you may ask? Well…I was cast to play Katherine Plumber in a local production of Newsies.
