I woke up this morning with the biggest, curliest head of hair in my life. I had clunked into bed at 2am with my curls still bouncing from the 1930’s hairstyle I put together for the 1930’s Idol night. Couldn’t run a comb through it, but it looks fantastic. The night at the Broadway Baby Bistro club was great – […]
Continuation…and please understand that I’m as enthusiastic about plugging my talented peers in the business as much as I am writing about my own exploits! Monday, Monday…was filled with music towards the end of it. During the day, I shook off the concept of doing any temp work (hadn’t gotten a call) and puttered around the apartment for a bit. […]
Continuation… Saturday afternoon, I met up with a friend of a friend, musical theater composer/writer Mark Garcia. Mark had moved from New York a number of years ago from Los Angeles, and had seen the show “bare” nine times while I was in it at the Hudson Theater (including one of the times I went on as Nadia). We both […]
It’s Tuesday, and I have to blog about a weekend (plus) of music and discovery. I’ll try to be quick, or I might (probably) break it into a few blog posts. I fear in the future it will be literally impossible to blog on every musical adventure I have in this city – the place is literally crowded and packed […]
Go here to read a wonderful, sweet post by my husband, Pete. I was thankfully alone in the room at work when I read it, so no one noticed when I started tearing up.
Just thought I’d post a link to an ooooold blogspot page which I wrote between Feb, 2003 and Jan, 2004 on the subject of theatrical releases I saw. I laugh at the hyperbole and vitriolic language I use on the less-than-good movies I saw. Enjoy! sierrasmoviereviews.blogspot.com/ and here’s another blog I did on things I recommended at the time (movies, […]
In Times Square, right above Toys ‘R Us, is a huge, faded, beat up billboard for Rush Limbaugh’s television show. I found its appearance to the public quite fitting. Plus, I’m very much relieved that his face wasn’t blown up and plastered for all of the tourists to see – that might have turned them off to spend their money […]
I live now in Washington Heights, near Fort Tryon in the upper Manhattan island area. It’s informally called Little Dominican Republic (the Tony-award-winning musical “In the Heights” is based on this area of the island). I feel like a white girl, but know that there are a lot of other artists who choose this area to make their home. The […]
sierrarein.com/sierra/audio/mp3s/sreinvocaldemo.mp3 Experimenting with a vocal demo – comment away! I want to know about bad notes, redundancy, and length. I put this together with audio previously recorded from other projects. Eventually, I want to go into a studio and really RECORD a vocal demo – but I need something in the meantime to send to people as a suggestion of […]
Quote from E.B. White I’ve noticed several times on the billboards within the subway trains: “There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the […]
