San Jose, CA

This past weekend in San Jose was quite eventful. Right by the theater we were playing at, there was a Christmas fair going on. Lots of rides and games and whatnot. Plus a lot of places to eat, which is always a good thing for travelers. It was a long weekend with double show days on both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday was our first day of call outs. Corey called in sick for Sunday, so our fantastic Matthew Myers took on the role of Judas. Matt did an outstanding job, receiving some of the biggest applause our cast has heard so far. Since Matt usually plays Simon, Phillip Armstrong (one of the magnificient apostles) stepped up to play Simon and sang his face off for his big solo number. It was an interesting experience having new blood in some of the major roles for the day, but definitely broke the routine down a little bit and gave some new life to the cast. After a 7 hour drive down the coast, we are now in San Diego and will be here until the 6th of January. Time for a long sit-down in a place where it's almost always 70 and sunny. Things could be worse :-) I'll try and do a few postings during our stay here just to stay current with you, my constant reader!
