I am enjoying working the refreshment tables at the show. I like that I can pop in to watch whenever I want since the hungry crowds are only before the show and at intermission. I'm glad I was watching tonight! Daddy Warbucks was drunk out of his mind, forgot ALL his lines, stumbled around the stage, and sang so badly they had to escort him off the stage during the NYC number. Grace sang the whole song and she saved the whole scene. They found a replacement for Warbucks (from the ensemble) who was fed lines through a hidden earpiece and the rest of the show was pretty good. I felt so bad for the cast and very angry at Warbucks for getting wasted and acting like an asshole in front of 60 kids. I don't know what their going to do for the rest of the run. Hey, ya gotta love live theater!

Ahahaha! That sounds hilarious--at least from an onlookers POV. Theatre is weird. Once when I was working on a show, the pipes burst in the theatre so we had to call off that show due to "rain" Gotta love it.
Another time I was working a show and the lights screwed up. Thank God they got it fixed before Sondheim came the next day, but I think he wouldn't have cared--the show was good enough to look over the lights that we too bright.
