Whew…

Well, here we are, the day after opening night, and still alive—barely.

It has been a rough ride these last few days. Tons of technical considerations, tons of lines, and tons of production-related issues to resolve (being the guy who’s wearing many hats). It all came down to last night and apparently we pulled it off.

There were a few minor technical glitches in the show last night (not to mention my jumping around a bit on the text, which made the folks in the booth a bit nervous, yet acutely aware of the performance throughout…). We made some last minute changes yesterday to the dances and magic to simplify them. But that was technically our “preview” and tonight is opening night (no difference in the performance…just semantics). There’s so much more I would have to liked to add to the show, but that’s for next year (???).

Now, it’s back to studying lines again. Did you think that because we’d just had opening night, we can rest on our laurels??? Heck no.
