The show went really well this weekend. I’m proud of all the kids, and will miss all the seniors graduating this year. I can’t wait to find out what show they’re doing next year (and I hope they invite me back!)
The producer gave all the adults that worked on the show a thank you gift of an edelweiss pin. Edelweiss isn’t exactly the prettiest flower out there, but it was very sweet of her to thank us like that. She also gave us seeds so we can grow our own. I’m afraid I’ll mess them up though, and I’m not sure we have the right type of soil to grow them in. We’ll see.
There were a bunch of funny moments from the show – the director allows (small) pranks for closing night. One of the best pranks was when one of the guys in the male ensemble dressed as a nun for the wedding scene. He sang falsetto and actually had the vocal part down completely. It was hysterical!
And then at intermission last night someone (who also has played piano in a pit orchestra) came up to me and complimented my piano playing. After the show he gave me another compliment and asked if I was graduating this year. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, as it was dark, and assume he wasn’t hitting on me and genuinely thought I was a student. :) (And I’ll admit being mistaken for a high school student 13 years after graduating made me ridiculously happy…)
