Opening night was so exciting. The dancers and I had a blast performing last night - especially to the incredible live music. I can't wait to do it again tonight, tomorrow and Sunday! Theater week is always hectic; there are a million parts to put a show like this together and it involves not just the dancers of course, but stagehands, musicians, singers, wardrobe, wig experts, lighting directors, parent volunteers, ushers, and many more behind the scenes hands to help. What is truly incredible is that all of these people work together to make the show a resounding success - smoothly run and entertaining as heck! As the band played one last hit and we bowed for our standing ovation last night, everyone that worked so hard to make the show come off was practically intoxicated with joy. I am elated to part of this show; Ron Cunningham has created a masterpiece ballet out of "The Great Gatsby" and to my fellow co-workers, thank you for investing your heart and soul into this piece - I am humbled to work with such incredible artists!
Okay, so get your tickets, tell your friends and come see this show!
