Opening Night

[kanders07]

It's 1:30 in the morning and I beat. Wow, a standing ovation on opening night. I don't think we've ever had a standing ovation on opening night. Everyone sounded awesome. Now let's hope I can get to sleep. There's a matinee tomorrow.

Thanks for all your good wishes. M's solo was awesome. She really surprised everyone. We're usually in chorus so most people don't realize that either of us can really sing. Of course we wouldn't get  cast if we couldn't sing. Okay, now I'm babbling. Time to sleep.

I AM SO PSYCHED!!!!!

Your director????

Yup, I do believe he's headed down there next weekend to see your show. I'll verify with him when I see him today. We close "Annie Get your Gun" this weekend, so he'll finally start having weekend to himself again for a month or so.

Definitely let me know what he thought. So far everyone who has seen it has said it's awesome. I really hope he didn't come last Saturday night when the conductor's spot was out for the whole first act. We won't even talk about why this wasn't checked before the show started.

We just closed "Annie" last night (best sttended musical we's ever had and we're the third longest continually community theater in Amercia, so that's saying something), so it will probably be this weekend that he's headed down to see the show. We have an awards ceremony for Sunday, so I'm guessing Saturday.

It must have been the weekend for tech curses. We had a spot go out during opeing and it delayed the show for 35 minutes as they frantically looked for another lamp. At least the a/c was working...
