Back from a rather spectacularly successful evening at Vitello's. Tonight's show was everything the last iteration wasn't, at least from my point of view. Last time we had one performer who I felt brought a very negative energy to the show as well as some less than sharp performing of the staging. This time we had Kerry O'Malley, who was always meant to do it, and she brought the opposite - sharp, great, positive energy and what a difference that made. Plus we lost two numbers that were replaced by much stronger material. Other than a couple of fumfers, it was a pretty perfect show. The laughs were ear-splitting and constant and the cast was pretty much on fire. I wasn't thrilled last time at having the head mics, which I felt was the wrong vibe for it - here we had five mics on stands, plus one wireless mic for two numbers. That was so much better - all lyrics heard much more easily. Better and brighter lighting, too. The structure worked really well with the new numbers placed really well. I was very proud of everyone. More in the notes. Oh, and yesterday we were at sixty-eight people, but tonight it was completely sold out. We'll be bringing it back to Vitello's and I hope it can be somewhat regularly.
