I spent the good part of my adolescence backstage. The theater made my heart hum. Heck, my best friend is an actress. So, when an acquaintance mentioned his girlfriend’s musical, a project that she co-created and stars in, I said not only will I be there, but I will tell the Internet about it. Mostly because--Parisians, I’m talking to you--I think the project sounds awesome and worthy of your time. Voila, ma pub:
Where will I be this Friday night? Why I’ll be at "Coups de Foudre," thanks for asking. It's a musical that tells its story using popular french songs. The artists covered? They range from Kurt Weil to Gainsbourg to Lio to Les Rita Mitsouko to...Lorie. As you can see, the show, it has a sense of humor.
So come on down, y’all. Hum along, and tap your feet. If you feel so inclined, send me an email and we can arrange a pre/post show coucou. Or not. Wont bother me one bit either way. Hi, I’m Coquette and I was a child actor--I’m totally accustomed to rejection. See the press release.

Yes, Alisa, remind me to tell you about my days as an almost-on-the-Mickey-Mouse-Club, almost cast in a lot of things, child actor in Florida. Good fun. (And by fun, I mean strange.)
Alex, with pleasure! I haven't forgotten, girl.

hehe, I'd love to! Except, I don't live in Paris (though possibly in the near future!) Maybe I'll hop on a plane for the weekend. Man, if I had the money, I'd be going to Paris every weekend!

"As you can see, the show, it has a sense of humor."
Is it me, or is there a distinct move towards Manolo shoe Blogger's style in your writting of late? I'm guessing you've been in Paris too long and the Eurotrash lingo is catching up with you!

You mean, Lee Bernhardi subjected the world to three seasons of J.C. Chazez, but they wouldn't put COQUETTE on the Mickey Mouse Club?
Psssssh. You were too cool for them, anyway.
All That (Josh Server! sigh) was way better, anyway.

I used to see those damn "All That" kids hanging around the Nickolodean studio soundstage like they owned the place.
They ate all the good Craft Services. Hey, remember RoundHouse? Now those kids were cool.
I love you, Asian Leps.

Oh, man...diggin' up the classic Nick. I just want to know whose blog is gonna get the green slime.
Posted by: DDJ | 19 May 2005 at 06:51 AM
We love you too, Coquette. But what is RoundHouse?
I was on SlimeTime Live! I was seven, and I cried, because my LA Gears stopped lighting up after being dunked in a green pool of slime, and my mom took pictures and said she would show them to my future boyfriends. Which she did.

Coquette ! Believe it or not, but...
...I live 5 minutes away from this théâtre!
(by foot)
This is where I used to make my dancing shows at the end of the year.
If you come via the RER B it's very likely that you see the building where I live (it's even the same shade of pink as your web page, lol)
The world is small isn't it? :)

Peppermint, I did indeed come via that route. Alors, I could have given you a coucou!
Asian, I can't beeeliiive you don't remember Roundhouse. They sang and danced--very we-are-modern-day-street-funky-vaudeville.
