ceebeegeeToday during "The Carriage Song" when Katie and I are trotting around behind Grant (who's acting as the coachman) and we're pointing and waving to imaginary people on the side of the road, I whispered to Katie "Miss Emily, why do we keep seeing the same house over and over again? It's creeping me out!" (There are photos and etchings of the Mount Vernon Hotel at various periods in its history, from the late 1700s to today). She whispered back "there it is again!"
After that number, Katie mentioned to me a cute little boy who was sitting in the 12:00 section--she said he'd been very enthusiastic, so she was going to pick him for the Lady interactive. I couldn't pick him for the Work song interactive, but I made sure to involve him when I ask the kids who are sitting to help us stir. I asked him to "taste" the fruit stew, and did we possibly need more cinnamon? He "tasted" it, nodded inportantly, and said "yes, I think so." I said "yes, I think a little cinnamon tastes very good in the apple jams. Papa got some cinnamon sticks in the City yesterday, let me grind some into the kettle." He beamed, espcially when I gave him a shout out during the debriefing session.
Yesterday was our public performance--Seth, Rachel, Michael, Jason and Benjamin came, along with a...friend of mine, Ted. It was so nice seeing so many friendly faces in the crowd and frankly, it was great actually getting to sing for my friends! It's been forever since I've done a musical where people could actually hear me in a solo. YAY. We had a HUGE house yesterday--that was definitely the biggest house we've ever had for the public show. We also had two press people there (soft press, like some kind of kids' magazine or something, but still...). The show went very well except for when my petticoat came loose during Miss Emily's pratfall. I was stuck throughout that whole scene, the "Lady is a Lady" number and the Lady interactive, tugging on my skirt, trying to hold onto the slipping petticoat. It inhibited my performance, to say the least :)
