Opening weekend went very well. After three performances I was royaly tired, but I still didn’t get home until 3am this morning (but slept until midday). The audiences seemed to enjoy the show, and the audiences have just been getting better and better. Last night’s audience erupted into laughter often (at the right spots, which is nice), and were extremely appreciative at the end. This was partially because the audience consisted of a group of kids from the children’s theatre.
We did have one scare when two of the cast members were involved in a car accident on the way, but they made it safely to the theatre and were on stage on time for a great show. It was still a tense time, and I was even on the phone to the passenger when the accident occurred. Otherwies, my lyrics have been going well, I haven’t had any emergency ‘re-imaginings’ of lyrics yet, which is somewhat comforting. Other than a little sleep deprivation, sore legs (I stand pretty much the entire show), and a less than perfect voice, I feel pretty good.
I’ve had a few hours now today to sort out the clip of the show on the local news, and I thought I’d share it with you. Beware, you must have a fairly recent Quicktime (if you have iTunes, you should be fine).
Now let’s see if I can dig out the video tape of me on the news for the same show five years ago. Tammy, will you grant me access to your dvd burner to get this done?
Hi, of course you may Tyson .. will you be breaking into my place while i’m away, or can you wait a few days? i already have my theories and suspicions about people entering my dwelling in my absence, quite often i return home and things arent quite as they should be, toilet rolls used up, bathroom cabinet violated etc. You didnt cause that accident did you Tyson by talking on the mobile? i’ve always wondered how many people hear accidents while talking on the phone.
Well thanks for the chance to finally see you perform. Congratulations on a successful opening weekend. Good luck with the remainder of the run.
The makeup and costume look great :D
i’ll be there the night of the 12th! can’t wait!
Great performance of a fun show. Now that it’s over, how about some new Podcasts?
