I'm Legally Changing My Name

Consider yourselves informed that I am changing my name.

No, this is not an announcement of that kind. It's my first name that's changing, not my last name.

I'd thank you all if from now until November 12th, you refer to me as Yente!

Yes - this is my way of telling you that after auditioning on Sunday for a role in Fiddler on the Roof at the Majestic Theatre in Manchester, I received word that landed my first choice role as Yente, the matchmaker.

HURRAY!!!!!

Now I need to start working Yente's charms on my own life...

HURRAY! I can't tell you how excited I am for you! You'll be the best Yente ever! I mean, you'll act the best Yente ever! I don't mean that YOU will fit the part, but your acting will be able to make it great! Just had to clarify that!

"Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match. And please let her be pretty." Or rather, "I hope she's pretty" (to conflate a couple of lines from the show!)

And congratulations again. I'm really glad you tried out!

I'm so excited! I can't wait to come and see the play! It's one of my favorites, and Yente is one of my favorite characters. Having you act the part can only double the enjoyment!

What can I possibly add to what the first 8 commentors have said....I am so impressed that you have the courage to auditon and so proud that you were asked to play the part! You are a wonder!! We have had a long tradition in my family to watch "Fiddler" on Thanksgiving day...can't wait to see it live, with one of my best friends playing Yente.

Perfect! I hoped you'd get that part because I knew you'd have such fun with it. Wish we could see it.

COOL!

I am now very woeful that I can't watch the best Yente ever.

But relieved from the weight of Sox's cryptic-ness.

And again I say, SABABA! :O)
