My director did the best announcements before our shows. "Please be aware that your seat cushion will not become a floatation device. If your cell phone goes off, the whole production will stop and everyone will laugh at you."
I don't have an iPod. I have a Creative MuVo. I have a lot of cast recordings on it but I mostly listen to Tommy or Bright Lights, Big City. I also have The Fray, James Blunt, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, The Who, Beatles, and Queen.
Thank god I graduated high school this year. And thank god my old high school has a very small drama program because I would disown it if they ever did this show.
I was Vi Moore in Footloose in my last show. It was the sunday matinee and by then everyone is pretty much tired. So I said my cue line for 'Can You Find It In Your Heart' and I waited to hear the opening notes from the keyboardist. Nothing. I just stood there staring at my 'hubby' for a few seconds and I had to start a capella. It was so terrifying. I thought I forgot a line or something. But thank god it was my music director not me.
