The Gershwin brothers wrote in their classic song that they had rhythm. Well, after today, I don't know if I have rhythm, but I still love music. This show was written by a challenging composer and has pop, rock and Latin influences. All of that combined makes for a show that would not be a simple forte for me. Also, the fact that the self proclaimed "rhythm nazi" is our musical director. One of the worst songs is Crazier than you. It's a good song but difficult because the rhythms are crazier than anything I've ever played. However, as I work on it and play it several times during rehearsals I grow more confident with my rhythms and syncopations. Maybe by the end of the rehearsal period or more likely by the end of performances, I will have a better feel for these styles of music. Then I can sing with the Gershwins that I Got Rhythm.
