'Thenardier's Inn' Encore!

We had another three-week run of 'Thenardier's Inn' in September and October.  We had shows at our studio space in Santa Monica (CAC Studios) and then at Three Clubs in Hollywood!  Once again, all the shows were sold-out/over-sold and we had a great cast of people to bring our story to life!

There were a few originals from our cast and also some new people.  Our new people brought some excitement and fun to the show, bringing a different character trait and that made it interesting.  As we've all said from the beginning, no show is exactly the same and that's what really makes our show magnificent. 

With the Steward and Jean Valjean before a Friday Night Show!

I was back to my Lovely Lady antics for the show, brought my crazy hair back, and love doing my make-up for this show!  We had Todd, Bartending for us at the Studio in our closing week and he had a beautiful set-up of food and drinks that were popular in France during the Revolution.  I had a Mint, Vinegar, Simple Syrup and Water drink that was absolutely delicious and got rid of my sore throat within a day!  I found out the next day as I was perusing Pinterest that Vinegar kills bacteria.  Who knew?!

We all wrote a little something on the wall to remember
our first real CAC home <3

Unfortunately, as we did our last show at CAC Studios last weekend, we informed the audience that we no longer had that space.  Thankfully, we have outgrown it, and this clears the way for bigger and better things!  We started 'Thenardier's Inn' and CAC Studios there and we ended with that show nearly two years later, where it all began.  

Thanks to Courtney for coming to two of our shows and bringing her roommate, Jacqueline, and her Dad!  I loved having you in the audience and I'm so glad you all enjoyed it :)

'Thenardier's Inn' certainly isn't ending; I've said from the beginning, can we just do this show forever? #notlesmisforever  And I know we will <3

You can call me Madame Thenardier...

It's been nearly a year since I auditioned to be in 'Thenardier's Inn - A Les Miserables Cabaret' and little did we know our fabulous show would still be running a year later!  From extensions at CAC Studios, where it all began, to being a part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival, WINNING the 'Best Cabaret & Variety' at the Festival, having another extension at 3 Clubs, to bringing in a mostly new cast to our sixth extension, once again, back at 3 Clubs!

We are opening this Saturday and running for four weeks on the 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th at 8 pm!  Doors open at 7 pm and trust me, you don't want to be late to this one ;)

If you want to laugh, cry, drink heavily, and anything in-between, this is the show for you!  I'll be playing Madame Thenardier, and you'll want to watch your purses and wallets around me, and I can't promise to keep my hands to myself, but you can bet that I'll be making fun of my husband, making you drink more, and having a grand old time!

'Thenardier's Inn' Photo Shoot at 3 Clubs

Lovely Ladies going for a song...

A couple Sunday's ago the cast of 'Thenardier's Inn' had our Promo Photo Shoot for The Fringe Festival in which we'll be performing at, throughout June, at 3 Clubs in Hollywood.  The Fringe Festival is LA's largest celebration of Performing Arts and I know all of us are so excited to be a part of it this year!

Since we'll be performing at 3 Clubs, which is a bar, we had the photo shoot there, and took some group shots as well as some solo shots to tell a little bit more about our story since it's a re-telling of 'Les Miserables.'  Master Thenardier, Eponine, Fantine, Jean Valjean, Marius, and the rest of the cast were there for our shoot.  While we waited for costumes and the rest of the cast to arrive, we bonded over 'Never Have I Ever' while putting our phones out of sight, and out of mind, for over an hour.  Something nice that we all need to do every once in a while :)  It's as if it was a little Improv Game to get all of us into character!

Tickets for the Fringe Festival went on sale May 1st at: See 'Thenardier's Inn' by clicking here!  Use promo code: FRINGE for a discount.

We're taking over Hollywood!

*I'd like to give a shout out to everyone who came to the Third Extension of 'Thenardier's Inn;' thank you so much for your support, generosity, and laughter.  I truly love seeing family and friends in the audience...my Mom (who saw it for the second time and loved it more than the first), Paul Ebner who came all the way from Minnesota, Brad, Kelly, Jack, and Keenan (you guys rock), Acquah, Aimee & Andy, Kristina, Lee, Kayt, and Patrick, you are all amazing and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!  Thank you so much <3
