Just wanted to share my joy with you all.
Last week I signed my contract to be a keyboardist in Cirque du Soleil's production of KA at the MGM Grand.
Needless to say, I am delighted and excited, and a bunch of other -iteds all at the same time.
I've been in communication with the Cirque folks for several years now, and have been campaigning hard for a job.
It was not until I actually met KA Musical Director Richard Oberacker that things fell into place.
Never underestimate the power of begging.
To start out, I'm going to be an on-call alternate for the keyboard book, but they've already booked me for several weeks in August. It seems likely that I can work into a full-time gig within a year or so. This is actually great for me, as I can keep performing with Wicked Tinkers and the various other shows here in town until a full-time gig comes along.
Interestingly, my stated intention at Mysterium this year was to manifest a path that would allow me to continue to live and work in Las Vegas. Let's call that one "accomplished".
Lead into Gold.
