And it's Monday. I apologize for being E&T, but it's been a tough week.
Legally Blonde is up and runniung and already seems like a huge success. The only thing that's still an issue is the balance. We are working hard at making it work. It's a loud show, nothing too much you can do with it.
An older patron came down to the pit yesterday and said "we can't hear the singers", I replied "We are all working very hard to be sure you can hear the singers" She said, "What can you do about it" I replied again, "We are all working very hard to be sure you can hear the singers" She said "We see plays here all the time and this is the worst when we can't hear the singers, we have never had this problem, what are you going to do about it?" I said, a little bit more terse.. "We are all working very hard to be sure you can hear the singers" She said "You don't have to get upset about it". I said "Ma'am, I have said 3 times that we are working on this issue, I don't know what else to tell you" She said, "Well, I'll going to find someone that can fix this, or I'm asking for my money back" I said, "Fine".
Then I turn around and my rhythm section is just staring at me. I said "Thanks for your help guys"
The quiet, kind hearted guitar player said "F**king unbelievable"....
I noticed that the ladies that were complaining had assisted listening devices. I should have told them to take them out of their ears during the songs. Who knows what they are actually hearing.
And I'm done....
