Recently a friend who I met while performing at Idlewild and Soakzone sent me a video of a hilarious moment from the summer.
This is a video of me as the character Demi singing "Give Your Heart A Break" in Camp Rockmore Talent Show at Idlewild.
As I remember it... I was starting out the song, everything was going as expected. We had a big audience that day, and we were all excited about it. As I started to get to the chorus people started laughing. I thought, "Okay, what's going wrong? My microphone was working, nothing was wrong with my costume, my wig was still on my head... Did I sing a weird note?" Now people are laughing hysterically, so I turn expecting to see a cast member pranking me, a set mishap, anything! But no, there is a toddler stealing the stage! I wanted to laugh so hard, but I kept my composure and did what my college professors would expect of me and... "Took the coaching."
I went to the baby and sang to her. If she was going to steal the scene, I ought to let her have it! She deserved it! This baby just adored the stage! I have to admit, I was the same way as a kid. If someone let me have the stage, you can bet they weren't getting it back!
The best part though, is seeing my cast members come back onstage after their quick change and finally realize what went wrong!
Enjoy this hilarious moment of live theatre!

ps: Special thanks to Lisa and Kyleigh for filming this! I can't thank you both enough!
This definitely was a moment to remember!!!! Kyleigh had me working on videoing all your songs and this happened to be the Camp Rockmore show that I videoed.....total luck!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to think of five most memorable moments of Idlewild, this is definitely on in that list. But nothing could beat seeing Zachary's face the first time you sang to him (or should I say I how he didn't budge the whole time, mouth wide open the whole time filled with crackers!!!) or all the "pranks" we pulled on you this summer. But the best part of Idlewild this year was, without a shadow of doubt, seeing Kyleigh fall totally in love with you. Thank you for being such an inspiration to Kyleigh and always being there for her when she needs to hear your voice!!! THAT is something I can never thank you enough for.
We love you and miss you!!!!
