The director said, “don’t get complacent”. Ha! That is not even a possibility. I honestly feel more pressure from positive feedback than negative – only one way to go…
So here we are, second night. Kirstin, George and I have our pre-show meal and enjoy what is sure to become a ritual, George’s soon to be famous “Ginger, Lemon and Honey Tea” for our voices. Voice and body warm-ups follow – we are ready.
We get to the venue to discover it is almost a sell-out. How did that happen? I guess sex really does sell!
Scene 4 – damn, messed up a line…Quick fix and we’re ok.
Scene 5 – lights are up too early. Kirstin is on stage without me. First line has to be quickly revised to make sense. Argh!
And then…applause. Audience doesn’t notice/care. They enjoyed it.
I honestly can’t remember a time when I felt this happy, this fulfilled. I can’t wait for Monday and the start of the official 3 week run.
Until then x
