oy.

last night was our 'final preview' of Saturday's Voyeur. not official opening night, but still had a sold-out audience. everything was going splendidly until the fourth scene. i confidently took center stage to sing my song and:.....................






































yep. nothing. i could not for the life of me think of a single word i was supposed to be singing. it was horrifying. i've goofed up on lines before, but i have never gone up as badly as i did last night. i'm sure you're all dying to know what i did. so am i. i really don't know. i think i just stood there trying to get a grip. at one point i thought i could get back on, but NOPE. finally when the chorus came, i jumped back on the train, but i was pretty much a hot mess by that point. ah, live theatre.

on to OPENING NIGHT!

What is this show you speak of and when can I see it? I hope I haven't missed it already. I would like nothing more than to see you forget a whole song. I thought you were perfect, I'm confused now.
