   Hi! Still in New Mexico and stuck! I was supposed to fly out yesterday, but not only was Albuquerque a "beautiful mess", but Dallas was having thunderstorms and tornado warnings, so I had to stay with some of my "Broadway Sings" colleagues at Amerisuites, whoopee! I got up at 3 AM and here I am on standby! Our plane is covered with snow! I may not make it back for New Year's Eve in NYC and I'm missing some family plans in SC today, but I'm safe, warm and clean ( for now). Here are a few photos from yesterday and Thursday night in Santa Fe. There's one of the gang after the concert which was quite a success. Well, if anyone is reading this today send good thoughts that we all got home from New Mexico! XX Kimilee www.kimileebryant.com
   Hi again from Santa Fe, NM, our show is tonight and then I'm off tomorrow morning for SC ( I have a very long day of travel) and won't get there until 10 PM ( if I'm lucky), pray that the storms are done or don't happen at all! Check out www.broadwaysings.com to find info about the gang I'm performing with tonight. It's a revue of shows through the years with a personal touch from our own careers and experiences in musical theatre. Ok, for the photos! The top two are from yesterday at The Cathedral of Saint Francis of Assissi which is the site of the first church in New Mexico. The current cathedral was built (finished) in 1895, though it's cornerstone was laid in 1869! Then there's my family on Christmas day with the dogs ( Lucy, Lady and Aria...We actually have more dog in the family, but thy couldn't make the "photo shoot"). I'll try and write some tomorrow in the airport!! Cheers! Kimilee www.kimileebryant.com
   Hi Ya'll! I'm in Santa Fe, tomorrow night is our concert at the Lensic Performing Arts Center and we are apparently sold out. It's a cute theatre and Santa Fe is lovely, though it's a bit difficult to get here!Christmas was great in SC, but brief! Photos are: me with Candice at church ( TR UMC) Sunday morning Christmas Eve and at Russell's place Saturday, He recently lost a good deal of weight and I'm inspired!We also had a great time at our annual Cromer-Bryant party, I'll post some of those photos too, here's one of me and "Uncle Max".Right now, my throat is killing me after too much travel, rehearsal , dry air and hight altitude!I'll try to write more tomorrow! Ciao, xx KB www.kimileebryant.com
    Hi Ya'll again! Still in SC , last night I tied a few on with my friend , Todd Jamison in downtown Greenville, who knew it was such a fun place to go out!

This is me with Joe Gustern and Barbara Maier , some of my "NYC family", I had dinner at their place this past Monday ( Joe is an awesome cook) and got to hang with their grandson AJ, another pal of mine.Tuesday I had rehearsal for "Broadway Sings" and eventually mad it to a party at our "Pirate Queen" stage managers place in Chelsea. Now ,I'm in Greenville, visting family and friends. We had "Capris" last night, yum! I "lunched" with James and Becky Pierce at Brick Street Cafe and saw Charlotte's Web (sweet), with Mom and Candice.

 Howdy Folks! Here's a photo of a great gang of people who were at my place for a holiday party last Friday ! It was a fun group, some others came by later and I thank them all for coming! Also I saw Grey Gardens last Tuesday which was great ( esp. Act 2), and the Actors Fund Performance Sun. evening of Butley ( with Nathan Lane), also great. I'll fill you all in later on other happenings, I'm off to a rehearsal now! XX Kimilee www.kimileebryant.com
  Hi Folks!Forgot to tell you yesterday that I'd be on "The View" today doing a short announcment with Joy Behar! It was weird, we taped it on Tuesday, some folks were up from SC, so I joined them! We did get some giveaways, but the BIG one is/was very complicated ,you have to sign up for directTV to get it ( A fliptop samsung TV). Anyway, my concert for New Year's Eve is up in the air, but it looks like I might do one in Nyack and then head back to NYC for the annual shindig at Roy's and Kara's. This pic is me and Mom on the Chicago river for the Architecture cruise...fun! Also me with director Frank Galati at the opening night party for The Pirate Queen. Hope you all are having a great weekend!Cheers! KB www.kimileebryant.com
 (photo of me and Russell Howze-from SC and Aria in the lobby of my place in Chicag0)Happy Holidays Folks! Pirate Queen is on "Hiatus" I'm back in NYC now, been back a week and have already had 3 auditions ( for Opera companies that cast a couple years in advance, I'm NOT leaving Pirate Queen), a rehearsal ( for a concert Dec 28 in Santa Fe) and seen 2 shows ( The Apple Tree and The Wedding Singer). I went by the Phantom stage door to catch up with some pals there and got together with 3 of my best pals, Herman Rottenberg , Joe Gustern and Scott Watanabe. HR and I saw The Apple Tree and ate at "Iguana"( yum), Kristin C, is pretty darn good as was BD'James and Marc K., but it's not the best of shows ( esp. the middle one), worth it though to see the cast. Scott and I saw a screening of Blood Diamond is absolutely worth seeing ( make sure you buy "conflict-free" diamonds this holiday season. And Joe and I went shopping in NJ and he had me as a guest at his gym. I so appreciate each of these guys! The last week in Chicago was great, I wasn't on, but we had a nice party and we had great weather and got out just before the blizzard!I drove, which I don't recommend doing, but at least it was warm and no rain!Now,I'm trying to clean and organize my apartment which is turning out to be quite a job.I've already made one trip to Goodwill, ebay anyone, I have some cool crap!Ok, this is getting to be a long blog, promise to keep it more upated! Keep checking my site www.kimileebryant.com and www.thepiratequeen.com for info, there are some more "castcoms" in the archives and we're all there giving our "2 cents" XXKB
