Nov. 18th, 2013 02:15 pmShow week is over. Mostly -- there's still strike to be done, but as the power is out in town and there is no school, that will be done tomorrow. It was a good show -- lots of people like Guys and Dolls anyway, and it's a fun show to do. I heard lots of compliments, many from people like my mother who are not inclined to say nice things just because they know people in the show. (My mother is of the type who never gives unwarranted comments, positive or negative.) DB was a hit. :) Benny and Nicely-Nicely had great on-stage rapport -- Nicely's mom claims that they played together at school when they were little, but neither of them remembers that. Adelaide and Nathan were both great -- Adelaide has a great voice, and AR is a sweet kid in general -- her mom says that as soon as the announcement was made she started working on her accent. She really wanted to be Adelaide. Sky and Sarah was the hardest to believe, but I don't know how much of that was due to the fact that I have a hard time with the pairing as written and how much was due to on-stage rapport.... DB has many of the parents thinking he's a sweet kid. He claims he's just lulling everyone into a sense of complacency before he goes on his crime spree.
I spent much of last week at the school being useful. I sewed bows and rosettes onto Hot Box girl costumes, supervised the feeding of the masses, worked on scenery, and wrangled props. In the truest nature of showbiz, I was painting a flat at 4:30 Friday for a 7pm curtain. I came home for dinner, and went back to the show at 6, and RG and I slid the flat into position at 6:15. I worked backstage for the first two shows, and went to Sunday's show with Mum.
Now it's on to Christmas stuff. FCB concert is December 15, DB's is that same week, there's a parade on December 7, and the pageant at church starts full rehearsals on Wednesday. No rest for the wicked, as they say at the mission.
(That's amusing. "Nicely-Nicely" is in the spell checker, but "Nicely's" isn't -- I guess it's not supposed to be a name.)
