Tonight me and a couple of my friends went to see "A Chorus Line"...it was coo. It's basically about dancers auditioning for a spot on the chorus line of a new musical. But I digress...well...not really...I just really wanted to say "digress" lol. But anywho...there is a part towards the end of the play where the auditoner asks the dancers what they plan to do when they can't dance anymore. Many had answers of "I never thought about it", "I'll open up a dance studio", "I'll become an actor", etc...well after the play was over my friends and I were discussing how that line hit us all. Like "What are we gonna do when we can't act anymore????" I mean of course there is a big difference between dancing and acting but still...this profession isn't promised...hell I gotta fight just to get my foot in the door. But as much as this business has its ups and downs and uncertainties...we can't imagine ourselves doing anything else. The day I stop acting is the day that I die. I would do this for free...wait...I am already lol. Yeah...I'ma have to eventually do this for money cuz unfortunately this world is ruled by it...but in a perfect world... So when the dancers were asked that question in the play, they sang this song in response:
What I Did for Love (Original Broadway) - Lea Salonga
At first listen, it sounds like it's talking about something else, but it can def. be describing the love of someone doing what they love...get it?
"Look, my eyes are dry,
The gift was ours to borrow,
It's as if we always knew,
And I won't forget
What I did for love,
What I did for love."
Life's too short...do what you love b4 you can't anymore.
