I fly to Germany tonight.
It’s for business — as is most of my travel — but every time I think about my upcoming stay in Heidelberg, it takes me back to junior year at the University of Kentucky.
I ushered every performance of The Student Prince, an operetta in four-acts that did a week of performances at the university arts center. The musical is set in Heidelberg, and after seeing that many shows in succession, it is what I associate most with the city.
When I walk into a pub this week, I fully expect to hear choruses of “Drink, Drink!” (and if I don’t, might be forced to start a round or two myself).
That operetta must be playing year round in Heidelberg — wonder if I could see it again in the motherland? It has been a year or two since my junior year.
Time to make some new memories in Deutschland.
Spoiler
How quickly glee can turn into gloom.
Even after Ryan Murphy, the show’s creator, met with him one-on-one and asked him to stay. Told him he could go all the way and win the competition. That they really wanted to write a role for him on Glee.
Cameron? He just wanted to go home.
I am so bummed.
But if reality shows have taught me anything, it’s that I shouldn’t believe what I am seeing.
While I do think Cameron’s reasons for leaving the show are sincere — especially his clash with directors regarding acting choices he refused to make — I have to wonder if he was later convinced to use his dilemma to add drama to the competition.
A change of heart and surprise reappearance at the eleventh hour would make great reality show fodder. And Cameron on Glee?
Heck, I cast him weeks ago.
