Opening Night

Opening night is in progress and we've just survived the first three songs. Yes, the official opening night is tomorrow when paying customers are going to be in attendance for our play, but there are actual people in the chairs in the house and it's making for an interesting night.
For one thing, having the energy from the audience makes this a wonderful experience. As much as anyone will tell you that acting is fun (therefore it's referred to as "play"), there is only so much enjoyment you can get from showing off to each other. Having new faces to perform in front of makes a world of difference, and ups everyone's acting game. Personally, I had a blast and enjoyed the experience, and I still have about 3/4ths of a play to go.
The sword of the pirate king just snapped off at the hilt during the start of the second song (I Am A Pirate King) which was a heartstopping moment but quick thinking between the King and Frederick saved the day.
