The big news this weekend is that Josh, my good friend and current PSM, has been hired as an emergency replacement ASM on the Rent tour for the next 4-6 weeks. This happened on opening night, and took about a day and a half to get resolved.
The final outcome is that Josh is leaving the show after today, I’m becoming the PSM, and my assistant from the road, Nick, who was to be our sub for Josh’s scheduled day off on Halloween, was rushed into training to become the full-time ASM. Today I called the show for the first time, and thankfully didn’t screw anything up.
Let’s be honest: the absolute best thing about this is that it means I can stop wearing black. It’s been a really long time since I was an ASM, and my wardrobe no longer supports long-term wearing of black, and I miss my comfy white-and-green Pumas. Today was awesome. I wore not a stitch of black!
