We made it through another extension of 'Thenardier's Inn - A Les Miserables Cabaret' and it was such a fun run! We had plenty of time for rehearsals to prepare for the show with a mostly new cast and it certainly paid off. The show was sold out every week and we barely had any space left for our closing show this past Saturday! Thankfully, Three Clubs (the venue of our show in Hollywood) was happy to have us and we loved filling the space and sharing our hard work and 'Thenardier's Inn' with new audience goers as well as repeat guests!

| Double the Trouble, Master & Madame of the House! |
It was such a blast to play Madame Thenardier for this run! She's a wild and fun character and with Nathan as the Master of the House, I couldn't imagine playing the role opposite anyone else. The relationship we have built through rehearsals, the show and more translates on-stage and I feel like I'm working with a best friend. It's a really great feeling and since we have to be a team, that playfully picks on one another, steals things during the show, and feeds off the audience to tell the story, I'm proud to get to work beside him! We did our first show together 'Babes In Toyland' nearly two years ago!
The rest of the cast that stepped into new roles really impressed me, as I've been a part of the show for over a year now and we've had some fabulous cast members. Everyone brought a fresh perspective to their roles and also brought the humor. It's the same show but with little tweaks here and there that brought new life into something that was fabulously magical to begin with! Michael took over as Director and lead us into a creative environment where we could play. He as able to keep all the parts that have worked over this past year and also give the audience some new discoveries. Thanks to our Improv, the show changes and evolves every time and we find out what works and get to keep the audience on their toes.

After one of our best shows ever on Saturday night we were all excited to announce that we'll be going into our seventh extension in November! I will be playing Madame Thenardier for one more day, on November 7th which is also the One Year Anniversary of the show. I can't believe we've been doing this for a year! We have some old cast members that will be joining us for this show, as well as filling the audience with family and friends. My parents and brother will be in LA for the week so I'm so glad that they'll be able to see me perform as Madame Thenardier (especially my Dad and Brother) since they haven't seen me in a Theater show since I was in College!
These tickets will sell out by the end of this week because it's such a monumental show for all of us. You can purchase tickets at www.cacstudios.com using the Promo Code: NOTLESMIS for 50% off tickets or if we're sold-out there you can go to www.goldstar.com for discounted tickets as well. Since it is our Anniversary Show and we're inviting all the CAC Studio/Theater Company Members it's going to be an incredible show and tickets will go fast, so if you want to see me one last time as Madame Thenardier, check out the above listed websites and get your ticket for November 7th! I can't wait to share this with you <3
"Can't we just do this forever?" ~ My words at Intermission during our first show on November 7th 2014...and we are!
