A Short Bit of Professional Gratitude

January 2, 2015 By Ian Sidden

Small thought. But true.

My favorite moment while onstage during Jesus Christ Superstar is dancing during the title number “Jesus Christ Superstar”. I realized this when I was visualizing the show beforehand and felt a wave of joy when I thought about that number. It’s all free form for me, but the joy is real.

My favorite moment during Roxy und ihr Wunderteam is “Charming Boy”. That’s where I do the most dancing. So much fun.

I’m very grateful to have more dancing in my performing life, and I’d like to have even more. This season is a lot of hard work, but I’m having a really good time and am really grateful to do this stuff.

Premiere: Frédégonde

Here’s one I’ve been looking forward to for awhile. Tonight at Opernhaus Dortmund, we’re premiering Frédegonde for the first time in Germany. It’s a work inspired from the early history of the Merovingians in what is now France and the ongoing feud between two of the queens, Brunhild and Frédegonde. The work was composed by […]
