Well, we're finally here: tonight, at 7:30 pm, the doors will open and magic will happen.
We had an open dress rehearsal for a modest audience of friends last night. With the obligatory number of screw-ups aside, the show is rock solid. Everybody sounds fantastic during the songs -- it was an extra challenge for me to work out sound levels for this show: for eachnumber, I have to be loud enough to that the actors can hear me, but soft enough so that, during the numbers with the entire band, the actors can be heard clearly over the music. It all came through in fine style.
The past week has been insane busy for me: today is the last day of finals week at Berklee, I had my production of Crazy For You go up this past weekend (when I could have been doing work for school).
I'm working on school stuff all through today, and tonight I celebrate by christening this show.
I am so ridiculously proud of everyone. To be able to put together a show as personal as this one is a first for me, and as trite as it sounds, there's a lot of love in this show from every single person in the cast. I told him last night, but it's worth reiterating, modesty aside: TC and I put on one hell of a show.
We hope to see you there!
