First night down! It was an amazing thing! Full house of people, lotsa love in the room; familiar faces and surprise visits. I got a chance to connect with the cast before hand; I really wanted to give them their space before the show. I wanted them to know how much I appreciated all their dedication and love. I wanted them to know how much work they've done, and how proud I am of them. I had to let my little birds fly.
I didn't really know what to do with myself last night. I didn't want to be around the cast for fear of micro managing, I didn't want to be around the stage floor crew because they always got something going on that will drive me nuts; but they always fix it--so I definitely leave them to their own devices... I didn't want to mingle with audience too much. I felt like it was my birthday when I was little. I just wanted to read a book in my room by myself while everyone enjoyed the party.
The cast was so amazing. I sat in the audience and just watched all the work we had put in over the last 8 weeks pay off. There were a few lighting snafus the cast rolled with seamlessly; I knew they were there. I found out that the lighting crew can't hear the work on stage for the cues; and if the cast changes a cue they were used to, they get thrown off. Today: strong baby monitor for them.
The show is gonna be over before you know it, it's crazy. Come Monday, I'm having to work on our next run. Very exiting. Tonight my family comes.
