The Kritzerland show was really terrific tonight. Sadly, can't say the same for the matinee of A Carol Christmas, which made me actively angry. After one really great show (Friday) and an almost-great show on Saturday, several in the cast basically took the show into the toilet today - flubbed lines, lyrics, low energy, and the fact that they cannot stop themselves from doing it is kind of amazing to me - in my acting days if I felt we weren't getting through to the audience, it just made me amp up my energy until we got them. Unfortunately, we had a critic today - heaven knows what he'll write, but I suspected he wasn't going to like it anyway - he didn't like Levi either, and this is a guy who LOVES everything that he sees. So, tomorrow the cast will get a group e-mail from me and they have next weekend to pull it together, or we will have what they don't want to have - pick-up rehearsals until I'm satisfied. Because I will not have a repeat performance of what happened today.
