Aargh - opening night!!!!!!

Well, second technical rehearsal and dress rehearsal went well yesterday and when we finally got the house lights off and the stage lights on it really started to feel like a proper performance. I'm really excited about tonight, though rather nervous too, because it seems to have come round so fast - and because I have Mum and Andy coming to see it tonight! I think I'll make them come later in the week next time!

Also have loads to get through today, but that's probably good, because it'll keep me going and not dwelling too much. Just have to make sure I don't get stressed about how much I've got to do!

Great first night!

It went REALLY WELL.

There was a great atmosphere, a little over half-full house, my song went the best it's ever gone (including the top A), my mum was all overwhelmed when she greeted me at the end (because it's by far the best thing I've ever had a big part in and she was all proud of me), and Andy enjoyed it despite not expecting to and said I handled my mic well! :-)

And I really, really, enjoyed it. I am on such a high right now. God knows when I'll calm down enough to go to bed!
