We got through opening night without too much fuss. There was one point where we jumped the tracks but we managed to get back on course without too much turbulence, but enough with the mixed transportation metaphors. There were a few slow (not missed) cues as well and for some reason Claire keeps calling my character by the wrong name which didn't go unnoticed by the people i spoke to who saw the show. We were spoiled by the audience who was very vocal with laughter.
I had a glass or two of wine and a few of the mini cheesecakes served at the reception following the show. Still hungry, I met up with everyone again at The Cottage. It seemed like the whole theatre went over there; we really filled the place up. I can highly recommend the Bleu Cheese Burger. We stayed till last call. Knowing how crazy opening week of a show is, i planned ahead and took today off of work to recover.
I would like to thank everyone who made it to the show last night. I hope you had as much fun as though of us on stage did. Only eight more performances to go!
