She was performing Street Car Named Desire, the role of, yes, Blanche Dubois. We had FRONT ROW tickets - I'd been calling about the performances months before tickets ever went on sale. I called in the MINUTE they went on sale. WHAT A NIGHT at the theater. And that, my friend, was so worth it. If you ever get the chance to see her live, you must go.
All I can say is.....what a performance. And we all know the role of Blanche is the Mt Everest of all roles. She went beyond nailing it. I finally understood, as I watched this performance, everything Blanche is feeling...why she does the things she does. I walked out of the theater charged. With a big smile on my face....
I wish I knew how Cate works. But then again, I have my own process and hers probably wouldnt even work for me. It was so much fun during the scene transitions to watch her sail across the stage with such grace, surely in her element.
Thank God for actors like that. That make you want to reach for your own stars. I hope I get to work with her one day cause she is da bomb, yo -
