Back from tonight's show - half a house and mostly a quiet audience who then cheered at the end. Baffling. But everyone I talked to said they really enjoyed it. The energy was a bit off because one of our ensemble members texted that he couldn't do the show due to illness and vomiting. I arrived at seven to be informed that but before I could even worry about it, our dance captain already was on it, figuring out who could do the scene shifts and how we'd deal with one less person. By show time, I simply think people'd heads were in the wrong space. Still, I don't think anyone could tell. Hopefully, he'll be back for the matinee.
