In other news, I am relieved and delighted to say these (now)-amazing high school kids pulled a great opening night of BARNUM out of their collective arse. There are many nits to pick, but it wasn't the disaster one would have fully expected after last night's debacle. And this place is no Calabasas. No, sir. But somehow, the spirit of the show was unleashed like a genie from a bottle -- for the first damned time -- and they even covered a few tech bloopers better than you could ever imagine.
