Friday...
Called Rich and rescheduled scene rehearsal for Monday.
Had a callback for BK in Santa Monica. Holy crap, SM Blvd was terrible! Went in and waited about 20 minutes before going in with two others. We lined up, slated and were then asked to give a 'nervous' smile for about 15 seconds. "Thank you". Yep, that's it. A callback with the Director and client takes less time than it takes to boil a kettle. Hey ho. No worries.
Drove home and played with the littl'un. C came over and M & I left around 5.15. Got a call from Judy to tell me I was on 'strong avail' for BK. Yeehaa! Think positive, think positive! (I was on strong avail for ebay but never got it).
Got to the Villa around 6.15 and M was introduced to all the lovely chaps in my dressing room! As each arrived they introduced themselves to her and then engaged in the happy banter that is our intellectual warm-up before each show.
Vocal warm up and then the show. Almost a full house (which is a bloody miracle considering the ticket fiasco) and they were superb. The show was very tight and we had more than a few opportunities to milk some of the dialogue. The 'dogs' scene was shameless. I'm almost embarassed as to the amount we played about with it (almost, I said). Anyway. everyone did really well and the audience loved it.
M, Ju & Aug were all very complimentary. We had time to chat for about 5 minutes before security directed us to the lobby and just as we got to the lobby, they dimed the ceiling lights. Great. We moved out to the square in front of the theatre and had another five minutes chat before security told to bugger off home. Un-bloody-believeable. A great night, though. Smiles all around.
