Opening weekend went pretty well - the house was at least 2/3 full each night and the audiences all seemed to enjoy the show. The fight scene went very easily - finally felt smooth & natural. I stumbled a little on my opening speech, but in general I think I did pretty well. Hardly an award-winning performance, but nothing to be ashamed of, either. I was a bit thrown when the audience was laughing at points throughout my big, emotional scene, but given the way Shores has other characters throwing in non sequiturs and other interjections to lighten the mood, I can understand it. I may never know whether I made anyone cry, but at least I know the wig made 'em laugh. :)
We've gotten 2 reviews so far. The first reviewer gave us 5 stars out of 5, went into great detail (starting with the costumes - my kinda reviewer :D), and had absolutely nothing negative to say. The 2nd reviewer was less glowing; didn't like the costumes the first reviewer did, mentioned only 2 performers (though both reviewers had the same favorite), and generally said it was fun, but not great. Funny how 2 people can see the same production so differently. This sort of thing tends to remind me of The Six Blind Men of Indostan - everyone encountering the same thing, but in very different ways.
