Musical theatre performers love portraying fabulous characters. From the English upper-crust at My Fair Lady’s Ascot Gavrotte to the royalty of Arendelle’s coronation day in Frozen, the characters these actors play are often chic with a keen sense of personal style. However, that comfort in fashion doesn’t always translate to the actors who are playing them.
It finally is opening night.! This new show’s very first encounter with an audience. Months of hard work will pay off in exactly 15 minutes. Without a doubt, the world’s longest! The curtains will rise and unveil the magic if everything goes according to plan. Performers, creators, and spectators have been waiting for this day for weeks. The adrenaline is very tangible, almost celebratory backstage during those last minutes that precede that leap of faith.
