Two shows down; two to go!
Wow, what a rush!
It sure is great to be up there in front of an audience and doing your thing! The adrenaline kicks in and it's just wild! Two shows completed now, and they both went really well. Technical hitches on both nights with the AV equipment, so I'm hoping they can fix that up for the last two shows. I've garnered a small role as the piano player in act one, and I play the bridal march as the bride walks down the aisle - cool fun! Who knew that knowing how to play the piano would come in handy?
The tap routine is bringing the house down. It really is stealing the show, and all the people I've spoken to say it is their favourite part! This is great to hear, as we really are throwing everything we've got into it. Because of this show I've made a stack of really great friends in our tap classes whom I would never really have chatted with before, so that's been an awesome side effect.
I'm having a blast, and it's been great that I've had friends and work colleagues in the audience each night to show me support. Caroline was even lovely enough to bring me a box of chocolates as a gift - very sweet!
The lovely Rachel was not there on opening night, but she was performing tonight, so I seated her at my reception table (gosh I'm sly) and we pretended we were married for the whole play. It was great, especially at the end of the show when I started dancing with another girl and she came over and thumped me with a mad look on her face - so cool! She really held her character. She's gonna come out with us after the performance tomorrow night, so I'll see if I can get her number then. What a doll.
More updates soon!
