How I Feel

 
 

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW

What can I say............ I played Janet in the Original Los Angeles company at the Roxy.

Yes, before the movie. What a ride, what a thrill.

 

MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL

 

SOME WONDERFUL PRODUCTIONS IN WHICH I PERFORMED IN SAN DIEGO

 

RAPMASTER RONNIE

 

RAP MASTER RONNIE CAST 19886

 

By Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau & Elizabeth Swados for the San Diego Repertory Theatre. The show was a mad-cap revue, centered around a jovial Ronald Reagan, where the cast got to play many crazy characters. And of course, we rapped. : - )

 

 

O'MARY'S

I had too much fun in this musical! I also wrote the book, music, & lyrics with a couple of my buddies from the SD Rep. The show took place in a bar that catered to a large range of types and hosted theme parties. I played the straight-laced ex-wife of the gay owner. We all had the thrill of tap-dancing in swim fins!

 

MELODY SISTERS

A 40's-themed  musical romp at the Gaslamp Theatre. I played a mentally unstable woman, retired from the singing group she once performed in with her sisters. She gets released from an institution to sing for a special benefit and all hell breaks loose! I enjoyed myself immensely doing this one!

 

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

I played Hermia in legendary jazz drummer Max Roach's improvisational musical takes on the Shakespeare classic at the San Diego Repertory Theatre. Every show was different because the band improvised as well as the singers. Amazing!

SOME ADDITIONAL LOS ANGELES PRODUCTIONS

I played a bad stand-up comic in a seedy nightclub.
