Mufasa is billed as a musical, yet there is only 17 minutes of music in a two-hour film. It’s worn out it’s welcome.

Really? What's the point, then??

And intermission is over! Act two in one minute!

Back from a good show under the circumstances.

Cast did a great job, although our leading man is on the tail end of a little head cold, so was a little low energy.

Pianist did a fine job considering. He was supposed to be there at 5:45 but didn't arrive until 6:35 because apparently our MD didn't inform him of that. We did run a few things, but basically he was playing the show cold and tended to play everything two clicks too fast. I think we knocked three minutes off the run time.

Very nice audience.

They really weren't aware of any issues, but there were missing buttons, downbeats, wrong chords and such, but it was all surprisingly smooth and the audience ate it up, show-wise.

Had penne in pink sauce earlier, around noon-thirty.

Have ordered some clam chowder and a side Caesar from BJs.

bk · « **Reply #220 on:** April 11, 2025, 11:16:09 PM »

I instructed the cast to keep taking their Sambucol.

bk · « **Reply #221 on:** April 11, 2025, 11:16:26 PM »

I'm taking mine right now.

bk · « **Reply #222 on:** April 11, 2025, 11:16:34 PM »

More later and later more.

Ultimately, that's what's important...the audience's experience.

Well, I'm not going to home before midnight.

George · « **Reply #225 on:** April 11, 2025, 11:34:40 PM »

I'm 21 miles from home, but because of road construction, it'll be about an hour before I'm home.

George · « **Reply #226 on:** April 11, 2025, 11:37:04 PM »

It's bumper-to-bumper, and I'm posting when we stop.

George · « **Reply #227 on:** April 11, 2025, 11:37:55 PM »

So, I'll be back later...eventually.

George · « **Reply #228 on:** April 12, 2025, 12:31:13 AM »

I'm home!

George · « **Reply #229 on:** April 12, 2025, 12:32:18 AM »

So, it didn't take quite as long as I thought, but it still took quite a while.

George · « **Reply #230 on:** April 12, 2025, 12:32:38 AM »

Tonight we had a pretty good show.

George · « **Reply #231 on:** April 12, 2025, 12:33:39 AM »

A couple of goober from the actors (nothing horrendous) and a couple of goober from the tech (nothing horrendous, either).

George · « **Reply #232 on:** April 12, 2025, 12:34:07 AM »

The audience continues to thoroughly enjoy the show!

George · « **Reply #233 on:** April 12, 2025, 12:34:58 AM »

Tomorrow, my sister and a friend of hers are going to see the show, and my friend Shelly will ride with them to see the show, too.

George · « **Reply #234 on:** April 12, 2025, 12:35:31 AM »

AND my friend David is coming down from Seattle to see the show!

George · « **Reply #235 on:** April 12, 2025, 12:36:37 AM »

Sunday (so far) has the most presold tickets, but we'll see how each of them does.

George · « **Reply #236 on:** April 12, 2025, 12:38:09 AM »

After Sunday's show, we have to strike the set and take everything we brought up with us back to our storage unit until August and our one-night performance at World Con!

George · « **Reply #237 on:** April 12, 2025, 12:38:24 AM »

That's going to be fun...hopefully.

George · « **Reply #238 on:** April 12, 2025, 12:39:07 AM »

We're going to be in a 600-seat ballroom on a platform with the audience on the level floor.

George · « **Reply #239 on:** April 12, 2025, 12:40:17 AM »

We will, of course, need to use microphones, which we've never used on this show.
