And gargle heavily with lister....ine!

Wow!

So The Producers opened last night as you guys could tell by my excited text message post. It feels SO good to have this thing up and done with. The pictures for final dress rehearsal aren't online yet, but I'll post links as soon as they are.

I've been involved with some shows that have been sheer hell but this one REALLY takes the cake. And I must admit -- doing double duty in the costume shop AND in the pit wasn't exactly fun. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were all fifteen hour days for me. Last night we ate at home! *gasp* something NOT out of a Subway bag. I don't care what Jared says... enough is enough when it comes to subs.

If you'd have asked me if we'd have been ready for opening night last night -- I'd have laughed. This too was one of the first times I ever was skeptical about opening at the start of dress rehearsal. Yet, somehow, we made it and the show was fabulous last night. Still a few issues and what have yous, but it's brilliant and hysterical.

and why oh WHY must our Carmen Ghia be gay? I've collected yet another one. Just ONCE I'd like to find an adorable straight male who adores me. *sigh*

So now, all that's left is to play for the show. Mom and I are taking all of next week off, so that will be used to actually catch up with things. I cannot wait to have time to actually just sit and do nothing. Oh TR, how I've missed you. And [livejournal.com profile] bugly I'll actually be back to chat with you! *misses leik woah*

Thanks, guys, for the support through the radio silence. This was utterly, utterly insane.

D'oh. The statistics!

I totally forgot to add in the stats from the show. *sigh* I go two weeks without posting and then two posts in one day.

Actors in the Show: 22
Number of Costumes Produced: About 200 [considering the chorus plays about 6-10 roles each]

And now for the kicker...

Number of costume pieces that went through our hands (including putting zippers in EVERYONE's boots), suspenders, hats, trousers, etc: Approximately 900

So is it any wonder why mom and I finished sewing costumes at 5:05 yesterday?
