Notes from Saturday, Dec. 22 matinee and evening:
Act 1:
Much better, party children! You did a nice job with both the "Zombie line" and the boys' marches. I know the music was fast, but that's what can happen with a live orchestra, and I was happy to see you all listening and trying to keep up with the music.
Battle was also fast, and I know that makes it harder, but you did well.
Act 2:
I was happy to see my Polichinelles running more turned out, and thank you also Candy Canes for working on cleaning up your arabesque emboites! The V formations have been better, too.
Angels: I know you got confused (the evening performance cast) and got off the music before the big X crossing, but I think you all learned a valuable lesson. Part of the beauty of a live performance is that things can go wrong, but when they do, you just have to keep on going. Just keep thinking about what you're doing, and move on to the next step or position. I was proud of you all for getting back together even when you were off.
