Hi Everyone!

So I thought I'd share something that I am finding to be a pretty neat sign of reassurance from the universe in regards to things coming full circle.

A little over two years ago, one of my best friends and I were heading out to Vegas every few months to check out different auditions. We both ended up at one (through the hook up of a friend!) for an incredible show at Planet Hollywood called "Vegas! The Show!". Our friend who was in the show at the time, even got us tickets to see it while we were in town. 

The first time I auditioned, I was cut. I got the opportunity to audition again a few weeks later, this time one on one with one of the shows female leads and vocal captain. She said she loved my voice and would keep in touch.

Fast forward to about 3 months later, I get an email from her asking if I'd be able to join the show as a swing/understudy. It was a bittersweet moment because although I would have been ecstatic to join the cast of Vegas! The Show, I had just signed a contract to do my first 6-month stint as a singer on the Carnival Triumph. 

She assured me that we could revisit this when I returned from my contract. This gave me hope that I could one day be able to do this amazing show. 
But when I returned and reached out to her, she explained that she was no longer in charge of casting and that I'd have to come and audition again, or send my reel to this person, etc. Good old, timing, huh? 
I let it go, and assured myself that one day if I decided to spend some time in Vegas to audition maybe I'd be able to do this show. In that moment I decided to focus on doing cruise ships and see where that all would take me. Even during my time working on ships, I've always had this tiny sentiment in the back of my mind saying, what if I would have accepted the Vegas job? How would my life have turned out differently? Would I have been a headliner by now? Since I was/am very happy doing ships, I just chocked it up to being a "we'll never know" or a "maybe one day" thing. I was happy I made the decision to do ships because I felt that that was the right opportunity to follow during that time in my life. I had a very real opportunity to be in a show on the Las Vegas strip, and I decided not to take it, which was something I sort of always thought about. I decided that ships are where its at for me at the moment, the money is right, and Vegas will always be there. It just sort of felt like I lost my chance to do the show because timing wasn't on my side.

I am leaving to go on the Norwegian Sky in about 1 week. When they offered me the contract and I opened it, I was ecstatic. One of the shows I'll be doing is VEGAS! The Show, as the lead female singer. 

I feel like the universe is showing me how things can finally come full circle. I'm getting the best of both worlds by being able to do a DREAM SHOW on a ship. What more could I ask for?

Even creepier- I recorded myself singing a cover of one of my favorite songs from Vegas! The Show just for funsies a few months ago, when I was on my last ship. I didn't know that me doing that was going to be a testament to what was going to happen for me in the near future. 

I am overjoyed to be starting with a new company and being able to do a dream show that I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to do. 

Enjoy my one-woman rendition* of "Blues in The Night".
