Hello everyone! And welcome to my blog.
Just to start I want to say somethings about myself.
19th August, 2005
A 12 years old child is wearing her first pair of heels and waiting impatiently in the waiting room of a medical clinic. Her mother has taken her older sister to the doctor because of a heart disease. When they come out a car is already waiting for them. She can't stop the shaking in her hands, after all it is probably the theatrical event of the year. It has been commented on the radio, the TV and the papers since long time ago. Everyone is talking about it, about the expensive and beautiful costumes, the splendid music, the spectacular long-running production that has break records all around the world. The US tour of Cats coming to Mexico City. Everyone want to go. She has seen a musical only once in her life, when she was three. After all, she doesn't live in Mexico City, she lives in a 3 hour distance town where the only theatre host just one school production every year. She doesn't know what to expect. She doesn't know anything about music either, she has grown up listening to her parent's favorite bands: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd and some protest songs. But she doesn't have a particular favorite music or anything like that. She used to dream that the lights from the bar in her old house were the lights of a stage, but she hasn't found out why yet. They arrive to the National Auditorium, it is the first time she's there. They took their seats and then the lights go out and a voice announces the security rules, says that the show has some visual effects, etcetera. Suddenly it begins. A mysterious, playful tune begins as thousands of yellow eyes appear all around. Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark? Can you look at a King? Would you sit on his trone?. When Esther Stilwell appears as Grizabella on stage to sing 'Memory' the whole audience shudders. It has been a great evening for everyone. But for me was more than a good experience, it was the experience that changed my life forever.
