Brasil, I missed you.

I finally got to go home! I had a little bit of a break in between projects so I flew right away to Brasil.

I got to see my friends from my hometown, São Paulo and even celebrate a very early Christmas with my family.

​The energy of Brasil fills me up for at least a year. I saw my little cousin who is not so little anymore (#feelingold). 

Well, I really hope I can get back soon!!!

Another fun thing I have done was check out the Musical Theatre scene in Brasil. I watched Women on the Verge and Sister Act.

Sister Act was actually really good. I was impressed with the quality of the show. 

The outfits, lights and set were EXACTLY like the ones we saw on Broadway.

My main issue was the singing. OKAY OKAY, I shouldn't compare but I have Patina's voice in my head and that is hard to top.

Don't get me wrong, EVERYBODY could sing and very well, it is just the type of sound was not appropriate for the material. They didn't have that Pop sound that I was expecting.

​But besides that I loved the show. I was impressed!!!  

This one is a big NO NO! 

The story doesn't actually hit me. Everybody was too crazy and I couldn't connect to anybody in the show.

On top of that they recreated the vision of the show that for my taste didn't really work. 

The singing was something else. We had some actors that reaaaally nailed it and some that should not be there. Everybody had pitch but they didn't fit with the material. 

Then the lights went out halfway through the show and the lady who played Lucia's part lost her voice after her solo (WHAT?!)

Nothing actually worked for me. Nothing clicked. I was only able to go through it because it was raining a lot outside.
