Gershwin Memoirs
The lights were not dim, when the crowds walked past the street was illuminated from the vintage setting, with just that tint of green.
The girl walked up underneath the rows of lightbulbs and took a deep breath, this was the beginning of everything. The doors were just about to open, her watch well ahead of the time the show would begin, just this was going to change everything.
Within the glass doors of the Gershwin there lay a world she had not seen in years, something she knew would catch up at her, a cold winter breeze whistled through the covered path. Grasping the edges of her jacket her hair rustled against the edges of her cold crisp skin.
Green eyes stared up at the green signs, it almost felt like the Emerald City, but the slight smile reminded her of what had happened earlier that day. This would be her first time seeing the show as just a spectator, but the first time seeing it as an actor. The reality of it all had not dawned upon her until the moment the first couple notes of the overture rang out within the main theatre.
The doorman saw her standing there and beckoned her inside, seeing the red spread across her cheeks and nose. He smiled at her and led her up the stairs, her eyes slowly panned across the dimly lit lobby. Taking a deep quivering breath in she walks towards one of the large circular room.
All of her idols graced the walls, while walking to one of the rooms an attendant looked up from the playbills they were organizing, a slight smile graced their features and they looked back down at their work.
The embossed walls were filled with the bronze names of Actors, Actresses and everyone whom loved theatre and devoted their life to the craft. The years displayed brought the girl through a time machine, the fact that all of these people had stepped in the path she was taking as well. The path of an actress.
Backing out of the rotunda she walks over towards the cases that lined the area, stopping at the place where the white gloves of Joel Grey sat, tilting her head to the side she sighed and ran her hand along the case as she walked along. The original Phantom rehearsal script, more props, and then the second rotunda came into view, looking briefly at the wall to her right she sees Julie Andrews picture, along with most of the other actors she knew. Looking at the wall, the names caused her breath to be taken away. There were so many that she didn't even want it to end.
She heard the crowds coming in, smiling she quickly headed towards the door into the main theatre, the Usher nodded their head and let her inside. The quiet room echoed the latch of the door, walking to the end of the mezzanine she leaned her forearms along the green steel bar.
The cold metal didn't raise her sense back towards reality, they only let her truly look at the place.
"Amazing isn't it," taking a deep breath in she sees the blonde sitting not three rows up from her far right.
Smiling she walks over towards the girl, down below the shadows made the place almost serene. Nodding she sat next to the small blonde they didn't talk, they didn't need to.
"You two really could be the next us," both of the girls whirled around at the voice of a woman.
Sitting above them were two figures, their bodies framed the place around them, slowly they walked down into the dimmed lights. The smallest one walked towards the blonde, her blonde hair bounced along the way. While the other tall with a strong face and long brunette hair that cascaded out of the hat she wore walked towards her.
"We like to visit time to time," they laughed and the two girls were just in awe.
"You two have known each other since high school right?" the two girls looked down and away from each other.
"We... Knew each other," the blonde made the comment barely audible. The two veterans smiled softly at the two girls.
"Classic pairing," the two women stood and walked towards the exit, they stopped and looked back at the two girls.
"There is more to this then what you might think," the taller brunette winked and opened the door, noise bustled from outside, with the occasional shout as the two veterans exited the theatre.
The silence once again made the chamber eerie, but this time a lot more magical then anticipated. It was almost like the lights that illuminated the path towards this place, this theatre that held an adventure.
"It found us, huh," her voice echoed through the room, and she could almost hear the people lining up outside, looking at her watch the little hand graced her intellect with the realization of their solitude would soon be interrupted and the last time seeing the show as spectators soon over.
Sighing they look out along the many rows of seats, the smell of must and old dust graced their noses and the dim light relaxed them even more. The click of the doors alerted them to the presence of people entering the theatre.
The hustle and bustle of the tourists and theatre go-ers echoed and soon made the room loud, the two actresses sat in silence and contentment as the seats beside them filled and soon the clocks large hands began ticking endlessly away.
The bell dinged, five minute warning until the show would start, each girl looked down upon the stage, it didn't seem real to them, the stage they had always thought was the best, would soon have new faces.
The last of the viewers filed in and the announcer rang out through the loud speaker, the blonde looked over at the other girl, she turned her gaze at the blonde. They both bit their lower lip and smiled sadly.
"See you on the other side Elphie," the blonde squeezed the other girls hand.
"See you on the other side Glinda," the room erupted with the notes of the opening song.
Hm, whom are these girls? and whom were the veterans? Well it's a no brainer, but why would they say it's more then they think it is?
RxR Thank you.
