The Storm has passed and yet we are still working!!!! Rehearsals are now in full swing for the Autumn tour, and strange as it seems, I am looking mbele to the tour starting as it will bring routine back into my life!It also means sleep and no zaidi rehearsal!!!!
I flew from Toronto down to NY the morning after our filming and it was an amazing couple of days. It is a city which never lets me down. I upendo NEW YORK and it would be the only city after Dublin which I would live in. On Friday, I went for chajio, chakula cha jioni with some old Marafiki in the village and visited a bar owned kwa BONO called the spotted pig! Strongly recommend it. Sunday was zaidi relaxed as I watched Liverpool in my room get beaten kwa Chelsea. Twas hard to peal myself from the kitanda after it. However, we will fight on and live to win another day! I then hit Time Square in tafuta of tickets for "The Lion King" which I got. I paid through the nose but it was worth every penny. This we followed kwa some pizza al fresco in the middle of all the lights! I upendo people watching, and in Time Square New York, there is endless amounts of lunny bins! Me included. To juu off the evening i got a carracature done, which was surprisingly flattering! I thought he would have a field siku on my nose!
Monday was the most perfect siku in Manhattan. Started kwa coffee in Starbucks, then FAO Schwarz for some kinanda dancing. Followed kwa the off the ukuta shopping experience in Abercrombie. Honestly, do we need naked men at the door? Then stumbling around in the dark looking for clothes and getting a grope instead! Insane. None the less, dropped a fortune there and cant wait to see what they look like in daylight!
Due to the weather being sooo good, we ended up taking a horse and carriage around Central Park, followed kwa chajio, chakula cha jioni at the Boathouse. I can honestly say it will be a siku I will remember for the rest of my life. So perfect, so relaxing and so much fun. All the things I grew up watchin in the sinema coming to life in one day. What an amazing city.
I hooked back up with the boys and gals again that night and we made our way to Long island. Talking and sharing our stories of our days in New York. Having a break mid trip from eachother really helps. Not that there are any issues, just time out always comes like a welcomed tonic from Mary Poppins!!
After doing nearly 80 shows wewe would thing there would be little need for rehearsal for the tour. However, wewe would be surprised how much wewe forget in such a short space of time. This on juu of the fact that there are one au two new songs in the show. All keeps us fresh and on juu of our game. We worked till 10 then straight to kitanda as we had an appearance on fox, mbweha TV this morning. Getting collected from the Hotel at 6 is never funny. One eye looking at the other and trying to come out with sensible majibu is always tough on tv, but this morning was even tougher. Vitamins galore and a cup of chai and all set for another siku rehearsing. We head back to Long Island. Dress rehearsal tonight, so full on till 10!
Finally I heard today that "If I Could Cry" is going to be released as a single in a matter of days. This is the first time I have released a single and am very apprehensive. Though pressure was being put on me so here it comes! I do hope people enjoy it, but either way, i am proud of it as I recorded it in Abbey Road and used the same mic that John Lennon used during his time with the Beatles. It is the title track from a onyesha called "Sleeping Beauty" which will be coming to stage on the West End inayofuata year.
Anyway, must go as I am due on stage to go through my new song for CT. Keep well peeps!
Ciao for now my loves, my doves, my eggs!!!!
