The Day Before The Beginning

Today is the day before I start my role as Young Simba in "The Lion King" on Broadway. I am so excited but it is gonna be alot of hard work. I have to go to school on Mondays, which are my equity days off. I stay from 8:00am to 5:00pm. For the rest of the week I stay in school for 90 minutes. My criteria contains Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. When I go to New York tomorrow, I will go to Alvin Ailey Studios for Music, Staging, and Choreography. The best part about it is that now I can get to know all of the people in the cast. TTYL(talk to you later)
