So in Ven's update I forgot to include another injury, that being of ROXIE our Bruiser standby. Two days he got excited and ate part of a new phone recharger. Sadly to say, he had to be taken to the hospital. Apparently some metal had been injested--but he is on the upswing to be sure.
Yesterday, Spencer once again made the audience swoon( speaking of, they were the most rucus audience we have had and it felt great). But, Murphy's Law and the gods of live theatre swung their heavy gavel. Right before the Legally Blonde Ballad, Elle smacks Callahan for kissing her.
Well, the UPS GUY track has to do the actual slap sound offstage( i hope that doesnt spoiler it. Also, the descant at the beginning of IRELAND is MAMIE PARRIS offstage). So last night, Spencer came about two seconds after the actual slap. The audience roared--multiple times. ANd, Ken lost it. I think he actually doubled up with laughter at one time. He tried to restart about 4 times and couldnt get the line out, egging the audience on even more. We all rushed backstage to see what was happening. He finally recovered, but that is one of many reasons why i love doing theatre over film====you never know what will happen!!!!
The crew also have decided that the first friday of each month is now going to be MUSTACHE FRIDAY. So, enjoy some of the pictures of our backstage counterparts. Some involve some odd Amish looking beard. I wish I could have been involved, but our contractual clause is that we must be clean shaven. Also after the show, we decided to play a little shakey face and hair flip at a wee pub. This is explains Gretchen's ELVIRA doo........
Here is to our last weekend in Boston.....
