My thoughts on the overall piece are that it ended up going better than we expected because when the audience joined it it made us all do better by having a supportive audience. I think the lights sound costume and set went well in the show compared to the rehearsals as there was a lot of mess ups with the lighting and sound cues and when the set fell during rehearsals and that didn’t happen during the performance. I think the professionalism and the noise back stage could have been better the noise back stage was really loud and with the mics you could hear a lot back stage it was definitely way louder back stage then people thought. The last scene definitely went wrong but people tried to blend it by improvising.
I think the audience really enjoyed it but I think they were able to tell on the parts we messed up on.
My piece went well I remembered my lines and cues and I remembered the dances and songs, until the end scene. My mind completely went blank and I forgot every line so Amber and I just stood there staring at each other until the curtains opened which we could have improvised during but i had no clue what we were doing.
