Thank you guys!! My mom didn't take any pictures of the show tonight...but there's videos! Even better, right? I'm waiting for them to upload, so I'll just post about the show and I'll make a new post when the vids are done.
I made a mistake in my last post...we weren't completly sold out last night. There were like 5 empty seats. But tonight when we got there there were 30 tickets left...and for about half an hour we were doing a countdown of tickets, and when we got the announcement that we were sold out we threw a freakin' parade.
A show has never in our school's history sold out!
Tonight's show, while just as good overall, did not go as smoothly as last night. and that would be my fault.
During "Gaston" (which I have a video of), we (the cast) have to bring out the chairs and mugs that we use for the dance. WELL. Here's the story.
My hair was curly for the first scene, and then after that it decided to uncurl itself. So my friend Alex, who isn't in "Gaston" was straightening it for me between the opening scene and "Gaston". We were talking when I realized that the dressing room was empty, except for the 2 of us. I went FLYING out with my hair half straight half curly-ish knot. and I heard Lefou starting starting the song. I FLIPPED out and went flying from one side of the backstage area to the other...my feet probably touched the ground twice. When I got to the other side, the song had actually started, so I was kind of like "crap" (among other words
) backstage, and I decided I just wouldn't go on for that song. Then one of the stage crew was like "GET OUT THERE!!" So I kind of stumbled onto the stage (attempting to act drunk) and ran over to my friend Chris, who is my "dance partener" for this scene.
He said (mouthed) "Did you bring the chair?" and I mouthed "No, I didn't bring the chair!! I just got here." and he was like "I know you just got here, but why didn't you bring the chair?" and I gave him like a death look (don't worry...it looks like we were just stage talking in the video lol), and he was like "Go get the chair" and I was like "I'm not going BACK off stage to get the chair. You get the chair." so he was like "cover me." So he crawled out behind my back and came on like 2 minutes later with a chair acting drunk. It was HYSTERICAL.
That was the only part of the show that I screwed up really badly. Afterwords I was talking to the woman who did the costumes (who was watching the show) and I asked her if it was obvious that I came screwed up. and one girl (whose also in the show) was like "Yes, cause you weren't there." which might sound mean, but it was pretty funny.
The rest of it went well though!! after that I changed into my dress for Be Our Guest and I was successful in getting my hair straightened the rest of the way before we went on again.
It was so embarrassing...but kind of fun at the same time lol.
But everyone ELSE was spot-on and we got a standing-O again. weee I'm having so much fun with this. I'm gonna cry on Sunday.
