Last night was opening night! (finally!) I started to think we'd never stop rehearsing, but we made it! 1 city down, 30 to go! Of course it wouldn't be opening night without a little excitement, and I've felt like something was bound to happen because everything up until now has gone too smoothly. So our bus in NYAC and the Shine staircase got a case of stage fright.....neither one worked! The bus started to malfunction mid number and luckily the manual controls kicked in, but the cues for the bus rotation were behind so it didn't really sync up with the LED screen. The first 2 girls off the bus actually stepped off while the bus was still moving.....which is totally unsafe! But they made it work! If that wasn't enough, the Shine stairs didn't make the usual move forward, so the LED wall opened up and we just stayed back in the shadows. Wah wah! Totally killing our best moment in the show! We had to take super long walks to make it to our correct depths for the top of dance. We were all joking backstage after that we channeled our inner supermodel on the long walks, ha! Technical difficulties....but we used our PCS (professional common sense) and handled it well, everyone in charge seemed to be happy with us!
Here are some show pics taken from a dress rehearsal, and also some cute ones from our opening night party!
