Anyway, two nights down, one to go for GREASE! (LRHS, tickets are ten dollars at the door, bla bla) so I might as well do a preliminary show report, because hell, I'm tiiiiiiired.
Granted, I'm tired because I got up at five yesterday to finish a powerpoint project and had to get up at six today (A Saturday, no less) because I had to babysit Kooberthy Jones. So it's less generally tired and more seriously sleep-depd.
ANYWAYS
The show has been suprisingly fun, for Grease. And I will say this, I hate the show, but it's one shining advantage (Besides the fact that the music's fun) is that it is selling. Thursday, we had about 300 people come, last night we're guessing we sold between four and five hundred tickets. So, we're *probably* not going to end up in the red this time around.
But it's been going alright. AND, I'm actually in it. This year, I have seemed to have a knack for getting dragged onstage for a few short minutes because we didn't have anyone else. (I played the message-girl in Night of Jan 16th.) In this particular case, one of the company members got the chicken pox, and so her partner for handjive was left all alone. I was running around, introducing myself to everyone on Wednesday, and Becca said "Hi, will you be my partner for the hand-jive thing?"
"Sure!" I say, laughing inwardly at the joke. Until I realize she was serious.
Lucky for us, I am a whore for the dancing (And for being onstage, I may as well admit it) and the part I had to learn was not entierly hard. So Thursday, before we opened, I learned the dance. And I didn't even need to audition!
As for the rest of life...
It's good. But *thump*

MOOP!
