Real Magic

I sat down

In my seat in the theater.

We waited for the show to start

With anticipation. I loved the book

And now it's on Broadway

And I couldn't wait.

The show started up, and I'm not a theater kid

I know nothing about acting at all,

But I

it. It was similar to the book. Only a few characters were off, 

In my opinion.

The boys

The beautiful

Boys

The main characters

Were

Perfect.

They were awkward and sweet

And their friendship

Came ALIVE onstage

Like I'd never seen before.

There was hugging in the script, I knew that

But it was so much more passionate.

The actors WERE the characters.

And those two boys

Bonded by rewinding time

By love

Were there for each other.

I felt the bond

Between them

As strong as anything.

The show put the words on a page into reality

Into life

Into the characters

And I was breathless.

It was

Undoubtedly

One of the greatest things I'd ever seen.

It made me believe

Magic is real.

  • Auditions

    I like auditioning. I like it because it makes me feel special - I like the anticipation, walking in that room, and just getting to play what you've practiced. It's predictable. 

  • Deja vu

    I've been here before

    I know this feeling

    the impending sense of

    happening.

    It's going to happen

    it's inevitable

    is this a mistake?

    I will back off so fast if you tell me you don't want it.

  • Remarkable

    I don't know you

    I want to

    but not yet.

    I know you are more useful to me as a faraway rival

    of extraordinary difficulty

    than as a friend right now

    I also know I won't have a choice next year.
