i betcha you would have done the same
853 WORDS FOR ANYONE
It was honestly a fun project, being a sweet heart she could have never even thought of doing what her character would have, but either way, she was going to be Velma for the cell block tango. They didn’t really get too much stage practice in their singing or dance classes so all the students in her dance and singing classes had been assigned a project to do a scene from a musical, they only got the name of a musical and then they had to select the number, she didn’t have much say in it, but after having being assigned to Chicago, her group had chosen to do none other than the cellblock tango. At first she was against it, because she didn’t like the idea of it, however she got once to it after they ran the song a couple times in class. They’d ran the dance number a couple of times by now but they still had two weeks to get it down right before having to actually perform it in front of their other class members. So today she was set up on the stage, with her ipod and dock, her hair pulled up into a ponytail and in a black tank top and yoga pants with her lucky nude ballet shoes.
Kneeling at the edge of the stage she pressed play then jumped up, backing up to her mark and sighing, waiting a moment, a finger drumming on her thigh as she counted. Deciding to take it right from the top, she was careful to wait as it came her turn before speaking, then getting her movements right. Then she burst into life as she belted out, “He had it coming. He had it coming. He only had himself to blame. If you had been there, if you had seen it. I betcha you would have done the same!”

“My sister, Veronica and I had this double act and my husband, Charlie, traveled around with us. Now, for the last number in our act, we did 20 acrobatic tricks one two three four, five...splits, spread eagles, back flips, flip flops, one right after the other. Well, this one night we were in the hotel Cicero, the three of us, boozin' and havin' a few laughs when we run out of ice. So I went out to get some. I come back, open the door and there's Veronica and Charlie doing Number Seventeen- the spread eagle. Well, I was in such a state of shock, I completely blacked out.I can't remember a thing. It wasn't until later, when I was washing the blood off my hands I even knew they were dead. ” [/i]
Twisting she sprung into where she would have met with a background dancer, first the one playing her husband than turning again to meet the one playing her sister… then the she turned back and began her more dominant portion began as she led the girls through the chorus. She paused for a minute afterwards, looking out to the empty seats and sighed, for the first time since day dreaming off that this was all real, on a real Broadway stage that she was in an empty college auditorium. Lowering a leg that was raised into position, she exhaled deeply, then struggled for a moment to keep her breathe, she blinked and looked down at herself wiping her suddenly sweaty hands on her pants, she let out a shaky breathe. She didn’t really have stage fright but there were times were she got so nervous actually being on a stage, it was different up in front of her friends or a class or whatever, but on a stage she almost got sick over it, she paced from the front of the stage to the back for a few minutes trying to calm herself down. “Come on Lil. You can do this, there isn’t even anyone here. You’re just being silly.” She shook her head, trying to give herself a pep-talk as she paced, though it didn’t really help. Though she thought she heard something, she ignored it, just trying to calm her nerves.
