I was at the show tonight and happened to see this thread before I left. There were definately some looks that passed between the two just prior to stepping onto the chairs -- and Michael did grab her hand with both of his.
It was, of course, performed flawlessly.

so glad all is ok. i saw it in may and those clunker shoes she wore scared me to death.
ashley brown (belle in B&B) was telling me that one night her foot got caught in a track on stage and she fell and SPRAINED it ON STAGE! and she finished the show! maybe it's like when i sprained my ankle a couple of days before a show. when i was off stage it hurt horribly, but when i stepped out on stage, it wouldn't hurt at all. i suppose it was because i was so in the moment and my character didn't have a sprained ankle. haha. but as soon as i stepped off again, it would throb again. it's difficult to explain. it was so strange. does anyone know what i'm talking about or am i just crazy?
even though it sounds like she was shaken, i'm glad she was able to shake it off and continue. it makes me love her even more than i already do :)

BrightEyed-I totally know what you're talking about with the sprained ankle thing. One time during a show i had a super fast costume change back stage, my costumer was supposed to stand at the edge of the platform backstage so i knew where to go, he didn't, ended up falling off the platform, and sprained my ankle. Off stage it was awful, but onstage i was in character and it just didnt hurt. still weirds me out sometimes when i think about it, but i know what you mean.
And definitely yay for Patti, she is a real trooper

Posted: 7/8/06 at 4:42amI fell for Patti long ago? (I never did get why she wants to spell her name with an -i, though.)

Patti is her mother's maiden name.
It's not short for anything.. which is a pretty interesting fact.

Posted: 7/8/06 at 11:46amI'm amazed she can do anything in those shoes.

Posted: 7/8/06 at 12:15pmDid she change her name, or is that what her parents named her?

"I'm amazed she can do anything in those shoes."
So am I. They look really awkward. I'm proud of her and Michael for keeping the show going and not missing a beat. You can really see the support there.
