Oh man!! I've never been quite this excited about opening a show. This is partly due to the fact that I'm ALWAYS really nervous, and also that this is one of my favorite shows!!! Gene Kelley is awesome!! He is my dancing hero! I also think Donald O'Connor is amazing! I think he's more of an unspoken dancing star of the fifties! He was definitely in the shadow of Gene on and off screen! Tap dancing is such an amazing thing! It looks really cool and sounds just as rad when you are watching someone perform, but oh boy, you have no idea how hard it is! You have to have a lot of endurance to even think about all the combinations! I'm really stoked that I have had the chance to learn some amazing Tap (Thanks Maria) and hope I do the choreography some justice.
This show in particular has been sooooo much fun! It's such a happy-spirited show! I've really enjoyed working with Roger Dunbar!! He and his wife are such great people!!! I worked with Tamari in Les Miserables this summer and they are such happy people! Anyhow, Roger is really fun to act with, we kind of feed off of each other, and I think and that really helps for these two characters escpecially! Roger was my director for Fantasticks and I think that show is where I grew as an actor the most! He really made us find a character and well..be them! So, if you ever have the chance to work under Roger DO IT!!!!! Well looky there, i've shpeeled once again, hope I didn't bore ya!
The moral of this story is to come see Singing in the Rain at the Eccles Stage at DSC!! Doors open at 7! Everyone come and enjoy!!! :D

dood, I'm blushing! Kyle, it's been a real pleasure working with you too. I think our Fantasticks experience has given us a great foundation for this show. We already knew each other well and how we worked.
I admire your taps... always so solid and loud. You really have them down. I think I have a good luck, but my feet don't touch the floor as much as they should, haha.
Oh, my word verification at the bottom of this comment page is "dutab". I think every time I post on your blog now I will tell you the word verification blurb because I know you're totally interested in that. Dutab.
Loved the show last night, can't wait to come see it again! You guys were awesome and I can't tell you how proud I am of you guys and the rest of the cast for working so hard to learn tap for the show. It is not easy!! Stick with it if you can, even after the show closes it is a great talent to have!
PS my verification word is "ratenu"
I loved the show last night! All of the characters grew on me as the show went on. The practices paid off. I was proud of you!
I have been tap dancing a little myself today just thinking about it.
Kyle,

We had a blast coming and seeing the show - you did a great job! It was really fun to get to see you perform :)
You really were amazing, Kyle, as much as I hate to admit it. And considering how well you took compliments in the past, you can pretend I'm being sarcastic if you want.
Kyle, good job in the play. I thought that you were sooo awesome!
