Wow. She Loves Me was a beast. A beautiful, powerful beast. A true feat.
I have loved every minute of this show. Amalia has been a dream to perform, and I will take her with me forever. I had a few thoughts that I wanted to write out, so here are my final thoughts:
I don't think I have ever connected with a character more. I went through a breakup before starting this process, and I was struggling with finding myself professionally and inspirationally. I was lost, in a few words, and I was worried on how this would affect my work creatively. I also have not done a musical since Into The Woods in 2019, which blows my mind. I was worried I had fallen out of my talent. Would I be able to act through song that was real with so many wrenches in the works?
Amalia wants to work. She has power and vibrance. She is a spit-fire that acts with no fear, but has so much instability simmering beneath her facade. Though she wants to be viewed as insatiable, she wants so desperately to be loved and to love. And because of this, she often misses some very important things looking right at her face.
Without going too deep, I have learned so much from Amalia. I have grown so much because of her. And I am so thankful for every minute I was in her left shoe.
