If You Wannabe...And Then I Found Five Bucks!

Seattle Repertory Taco presents

Fiesta Repicana

Well Fiesta Repicana was actually last Monday. We had an awesome mid-winter party which included margaritas, karaoke SMACK DOWN, and a taco bar. Mmmm yum! There was also a ping pong table and a mini golf course in the lobby. Who else but theatre people know how to throw such an awesome party?

But the interns got up there and sang "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls...

It goes: "If you wannabe be my lover, blah blah blah" (You're going to have it stuck in your head all day now aren't ya?)

But we won Best Group Performance in the Karaoke SMACK DOWN. Our prizes were 3 dollar gift cards to Starbuck's. (Hey, this is Seattle, that is an awesome prize to feed a socially-acceptable vice) First place went to Alycia (Assistant Company Manager who sang "Sweet Child of Mine" with many awesome improved dance breaks), second place went to Christian (Shop Carpentar who sang "Still Rock N Roll to Me," and his rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" with many inserted strong expletives later in the evening was an awesome encore), and third place went to Christy Carlson (Box Office Manager who sang "Walkin' On Sunshine")

Best of all though was Cynthia, Director of Marketing and Communications, who came to seminar on Friday and paid up. She had promised five bucks to anyone who would get up and sing the Spice Girls' "Wannabe." We didn't ask if it was five dollars to the group or to each person, but she gave us each five bucks. Yay!

So...we each found five bucks...
