VENICE MAGAZINE ARTICLE, SPAM and RENT

http://www.andrew-fish.com/Merle-Dandridge-Venice.pdf

Here's a link to a lovely piece in this month's Venice Magazine

If you haven't heard, my time with SPAMALOT has come to a close in lovely Costa Mesa this past Sunday. Two days later, I had the great privilege of watching my RENT family (most from the New York company) grace the same stage as Spamalot confetti continued to fall during the show. :) This touring company of RENT is amazing. There are small changes in the show, but the heart of the piece is stronger than ever. You MUST see this tour if you haven't already. I cried from the beginning to the end. Sure, part of that was sentimental given that I hadn't seen these people I love so much in so long. But I think it was more that the show was hitting me with fresh eyes. What a gift.

I'm staying in L.A., so stay tuned for upcoming television appearances. I'm already having a great time out here.

Love,
Merle
