CROWD WAS AMAZING!

every seat was full last night, thanks i'm sure in part to ewan, the sweet marketing chap we hired to pass out flyers...the show was technically imperfect, which made it perfect, at least for last night...there were a couple of missed musical cues...an early reveal of the final illusion's secret...dropped coins and cards...me flopping like a fish during an impromptu interpretive dance...kaydee rolling around backstage trying to escape from her corset for a costume change until she finally had to saunter out and let me untie it for her on stage...a pair of women in the front row laughing so hard they couldn't speak...a guy spit out some beer during a joke...the stars aligned, somehow.  it probably helped that we were crazy with nerves and flubbing parts of the acts, which only added to the hilarity of the chaos...fast and loose with riffing is the way to play the show for sure, at least with these supportive & smart scots who appear game for anything.  more details & pictures to come...running out to catch some of the city and a show this afternoon: a musical adaptation of beowulf, one of my favorite stories. i hope it's in olde english. god dæg! --s
