What can I hear?

Halloween....ooooohhhhh....scary.....

On my ....folks .....the guests that I just booked for December 18th.......staggering!!!

REALLY!

I will announce in a few days.

Second day of "Songs" rehearsal and I am off for a powerwalk at 7:00am.

I mean, really.

But I mostly want you guys to check out my webpage for the new stuff!

There are mp3's of the show!

There are new pictures!

And a list of the night of 100 Stars (minus 90) !

So...check it out and I will go and freeze my ass off.

Dance, Scream and Eat!!!

Wow....I have had to take time to process all that happened at the Hummingbird on Wednesday night...it was just too much to write about in the next few days after the show....WOWOW!
So YOU think you can DANCE!!!!
Hummingbird Theatre.
Filled with screaming, sugar -hopped-up, hair-straightened, skinny-jean-wearing, studio-dancing 14 year old chickies. Filled!!!!
It was sold out!
We got to our seats and we were in the 5th row baby!
RIGHT in sweating distance from Dimytry....not that he was my favourite at all. And I have to say..you all know how I want to be body accepting for everyone ...but his upper body is his bread and butter .....he pulled off his shirt and he had a couple tiny love handles hangin' over the side...and I thought....if this is your thing...you better do a couple sit ups, mister!
And Heidi!!! She was awesome...everyone picked a number that she was in as their favourite....she worked her ass of and got alot of stage time....
You guys it was like a rock show.
And my favourite part was the two 40 year old gay man who jumped to their feet after every number that Tracis was in!
It was the best birthday gift ever.....only to be topped by the good time that George had...I am so lucky!
Now I forgot to write about something in my last blog.
I went to Mitsy's Sister over in the west end.....I always feel that I have to get travelling papers when I go over there......and saw my friend Brendan in his band "The Chicken Pickers". They were awesome....they were excellent musicians and played some of my favourite tunes..... "Louisiana", I used to have a great recording of the Neville Brothers singing it and I dug it back out after hearing their rendition of it.... "O' Susanna" ...I never thought that I could enjoy that song so much...I was really toe tapping and singing along for the whole two sets. As was a real drunk guy that I wanted to heave the fuck out.....but they were so easy with it...they are a banjo, guitar, accordian, upright bass and another guitar and at some points a mandolin and they pass the instruments and the singing duties around.....it you get a chance.... get out to see them...they said the themes of their songs were love, drugs, jail and music...when can it get any better than that??? ...I think that their full name is " Cousin Jimmy's Chicken Pickers" and if I am wrong....Brendan or MF write in to this blog!
And what else?
It has been a busy week my friends....I start rehearsal tomorrow for "Songs for a New World" and am excited and nervous....I think that is the perfect place to be.
I am looking so forward to spending time with this awesome group of people....we have good chats and a seven year history with the show.....let's play and dish!
After doing your own show for a while....and I love my Patrick....it is nice to go out and have a little something social and work-ie....workie? That sounds gay....
I am also taping my first voice over tomorrow.
It is for Cialis.
Do you know what that is?
It is so fitting that after a ton of auditions this be my first one....for a pee pee medication.
All signs point towards life going interestingly from here.

So YOU Think you can Dance???

Dancin', dancin, dancin'........tonight is the night!!!!!
Travis ( and his sensitive heart and pushy-up hair), Benji ( who wants to meet a girl and settle down...?) Heidi ( who was my favourite ...and I so glad that the stylist made her not look like a meth addict), Musa ( wowie....he .....well.....I just think.....his.... he is an awesome dancer), Natalie ( they said her face was empty but I thought that she danced up a storm) are in my town tonight.
Do you know what I am talking about?
The concert of " So You Think You Can Dance?" is at the Hummingbird tonight and I got birthday tickets!!!!!!
So it will be me, George, two guys I know who are 49 year old partners ( & business men) and one has a shirt that says " I Love Travis" and about 4 million 13 year old girls.
Here is a fun fact......on the first day of ticket sales ( my friend works for the Hummingbird so I am not makin' it up as I am want to do, on occasion) they got one million calls for tickets and begged the company to do another show but they needed a day off.
Ya know what I say?
In this age of nothing selling in Toronto ......SUCK IT UP, People!
Give the audience what they WANT!
Did i just say that?
That was the inner voice that I save for quiet moments ....just me and my ....well..... inner voice...what shall I call her....why don't you three give me some suggestions?
Now, don't be mean in your suggestions.
I still get a bit upset when I happen upon someone saying something mean about me on the interweb, as George likes to call it...and it happens every so often and hits me in the gut.
So , here I am today on IMDB.com ( internet movie database ) and I am checking out my page as I just did a Self Promotion Workshop at Actra ( film and tv union) and I was on the panel and one of the other panel members, Mag Ruffman, ( who I love!!!!! ) told me it was worth it to use that resource.....oh I do go on but the punchline will be worth it....so I thought , "get to it wanna-be-tv-star!"
So, there is a discussion board place that I have nver seen before.......it says "Discuss Sharron Matthews with others"..."hmm".....I think..."who will have written on that?"
So, against my wise woman ...inner voice ......instincts I go it.
The first post is from a girl last year saying I rock.
"I ROCK!"
"Well," I am thinking, "this was a good idea...I can't believe strangers have been saying nice things about me and I didn't know."
I go to the next one.....the post person say something like " My friend told me her aunt was an actor and I thought she was lying.....then I saw her in Mean Girls"....yes you did, missy..." and I was surprised because she had gained weight!"
?
??
???
What the.....hey...that isn't nice...
That doesn't say I rock......
Then at the end of the post it says " It is nice to know someone in the business!"
Well, in the spirit of positiveness and turning the other cheek I have two words for this unknown post person...who is probably a teenage friend of one of my nieces........
SUCK IT!
I think that my niece needs some new friends and if that is the push that is needed I say so be it.
So, I am off to the Hummingbird tonight!

J the B

Hey....I thought that Junior the Barista was someone....but I think I am mistaken....I NEED to know.......are you K.G. ?
Or or you handsome-curly-haired-young-man?
Or am I totally off?
You don't have to say.....I love clues!!!!!
And now that I have a bit of time off between Songs for a New World and the Chiropractor ( my back still sucks and i have to say the 4 inch heels don't help..I was born for flats really....really) I have time for a puzzle.
And before we go any farther.......Why can't those girls speak properly on America's Next Top Model? They can't ask a simple question......of that crazy, cracky-head Janice Dickenson.....she is a piece, huh? She is one crazy byotch.
And they should have kicked off Jada? She is a manly man.....woo....not that that is bad...believe me......but wow.
That show is pure entertainment....I love it when Tyra thinks she is Dr. Phil...... one of the girls ( Amanda) was chatting with her and started to cry....Tyra said "It's okay to cry...." and not to be outdone by those young contestants she says ..." ...I cry all the time ....yesterday I cried for two hours."
WHAT??????
Why?????
Did you see your own talk show?
And I love that she said Oprah was her idol and mentor and then made a joke about her (Oprah) eating donuts....and then she apoligized to Oprah.....like she is watching.....Oh my god.....it is CRAKERTAINMENT.
AHHH!
And Grey's Anatomy.......well....that is for another day....
See what happens when I am not working on my show?
It is like I am missing part of my brain and I just pour TV into the side that is gone.....
I LOVE IT!!!!

Ohhhh tired and hair all fuzzy.....

Ohhhh I really am.
That fateful night ...just three nights ago......I just finished the show ....took off my wings and crown and hauled my ass home.
This one contained the most new material I have done so I was nervous and excited.
The crowd was mighty and thoughtful and I was so happy to have them all.....and especially have them all agree that "Skinny Jeans" are totally effed. I mean really.
I was soooo happy with my clothes and the guests were stellar!
Damien never fails to bring joy and excitement along with him and I thought that his story about Jude Law killed and "Diary of a Homecoming Queen" from his Dora Award winning show "Real Live Girl" ....which I had subsequently stole from him......was just heart wrenching....REALLY.
And Robert Cushman was very Cole Porter charming and funny and I love that he doesn't talk himself all serious-like. He laughed at the Stratford joke I made about his fall up there...that he was not pushed.....and he wasn't, peeps. He sang all 7 verses of "De-Lovely" and told the story with flair.
( I wonder if he will read that and use it as a bullet point for his new act?)
I did a salute to our sexually-not-pinned-down friend from the south " Clay Aiken".....loved that and I did a "Crazy Medley".....did you know how manys songs have that word in the title?
And SURPIRSE....Ms. Mary Pitt.....singing her ever popular rendition of "Trouble in Tahiti" and those of you would couldn't make it missed out on a true treat, my friends. She is one of the funniest ladies around.
There was so much more and so many awesome people showed up .......but i am so tired and I just got back from two days in Stratford with our friends Blythe and Mark that I have to cut it short.
But look for new updates on my website about the next two shows and I am also going to be posting some of the audio that was recorded from past shows just in case you wanna relive it or listen to it for the first time.
Talk sooooooon!

Too Long......

You would think that I was busy or something.....I was!!! But I miss my blog and my three devoted fans......

THE SHOW IS TONIGHT~!!!

And I didn't know how much I really loved Halloween until I started working on the show.....it's not like I am doing the monster mash or anything, believe me.....just love getting dressed up....and dressed up I will be, peeps.

And I am a bit fluttery in the tummy that for the first time ...except fo the closer and the opener...I am doing all new material....and Paul Butler by biggest blogger had some important business trip or some such thing....blah, blah, blah.....WHATEVER.......You will be missed.....

Tonight I will be announcing the line up for the Night of 100 Stars ( minus 90).....I am very excited because it is a very ecclectic and entertaining list of people.

I hope that you can all make it out.
