Merry Christmas!

...Hannukah and Kwanza...
It's so strange to me that my road with RENT is over. The show measures time by holidays and I loved having the people and messages of RENT as part of my life and celebration of the holidays. So tomorrow is Christmas Eve...and we begin...again. It's a tough time to be in the midst of holiday of giving. But the heart, the love, the friendship--those are most meaningful gifts. I'm grateful for you in my life.
Come see SPAMALOT before closing on January 11th!

Love,
Merle

Officially in the Water

With a bit of patience and juggling, it is now official. I will be the next Lady of the Lake in SPAMALOT. My first performance is September 2nd. So, I will get a good two weeks with friend and former RENT castmate, Drew Lachey! Then will be joined by Clay Aiken. Come out and support. It's going to be so much fun!
Thank you for all the love in my final RENT closing and for making Tracie feel so welcome. She is a terrific and talented girl!
