A triumph for me in my theatrical odyssey. I normally only do one show per year, as they require taking so much time off from work. But, a member of the crew of my last show BEGGED me to audition for the role of the Child Catcher. After learning more about the character, it just seemed too fun to pass up. So here I am as the Child Catcher in the Sarasota Players production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a performance which The Observer's critic described as "high octane nightmare fuel."

Character parts are so much fun to play, especially when those characters are villains too. And you even did the song! None of the child catchers I've seen in non-Broadway productions have done the song, and some of them are stranger looking than you.

Strange as it may sound, our director and costume designer wanted to create a sexy child catcher.

:D They succeeded. And if you were giving out actual candy to members of the audience during the bridge about luring children in with "all kinds of sweets", I love you all the more.

@@AnaxErik4ever 😎 real candy. The artistic director's idea. Gave me a little baggie full of Dum-Dum pops.

I figured it was real. Doesn't hurt to ask though. And for the record, Miss Hannigan in Annie Jr. has been my favorite role I ever played, a fellow villain character part. For some reason, I keep getting cast in ensemble roles or as a secondary character, apart from that time I staged a (unofficial) shadow cast production of Rocky Horror in college; we couldn't find a girl skilled enough to learn Frank N. Furtur in time (I attended a women's college.), so I stepped up for the part, despite Riff Raff being my fav'; speaking of which, Mr. Richard O'Brien is a fellow Child Catcher, originating the role in West End over ten years ago.
