Friday night - good run through, last one before tech. Got drunk and watched series finale of Battlestar Galactica. (New drinking game - drink everytime someone says "Frak" or "Gods") I shall miss thee, last good show on scifi. What hast that network done? (Dumped all of its original shows to make crappy movies. For a title list, combine any random and evocative words. ie "Death Storm," "Dark Creatures," or, my personal favorite: "Ice Spiders.")
Saturday - NYC with M&C. Disappointed with Blithe Spirit. I had high expectations, I admit (I played Madame Arcati in high school) and some of Angela Lansbury's antics were delicious - but - well, er - SHE FORGOT HER LINES. Angela, frickin', Lansbury. And Rupert Everett was tiresome and dull - his sudden outrages transparent, his character unfocused. The pacing seemed off...there were some lovely moments, but it didn't seem to build. Sound cues got played early, and I didn't see any sort of relationship at all between Ruth and Charles to begin with....it felt very stale. The lighting was lovely - really nice interior and exterior looks. But it felt like a throwaway matinee, I'm really quite sorry to say.
Sunday - First tech! A long day, but went smoothly. Barrels successful! I can stop holding my breath about that one. I love my cast...love them love them. Thank you. Can't wait to get sound coordinated tonight (Erik arrives!) and see make-up. Costumes tomorrow. Good golly miss molly it's almost opening night - houston, we have a show!
