Opening City!

So it is finally here!  I cannot believe that after five to six weeks of rehearsals, we are finally hitting the road again.  We are actually moving on!  It may have been a short trip basically up the road, but it’s a start.

It is a chance to start fresh and brand new.  We are finally getting into a show routine!  There is a long road ahead of us and we may be just starting, but you have to start somewhere to end up where you want to be in the end. 

We all pulled together to get through this week and took on all the adversities and in the end we stood strong and tall as a family.  We are all on this long journey together. 

With a few preview shows under our belts, it was time to get real.  After a few days off letting our feet and bodies recuperate and getting a chance to take in the views that Orlando had to offer, it was time to get down to business. 

While the crew had been busy at work putting in the long hours to make our Opening Night successful, it was time that we did the same and got back to work.

Just around the corner it was the official opening night of the new show! 

Of course there were the first show jitters and butterflies, but no one can take the feeling away from you that fills your body when you hit the ice for the first time.  The people are filling the seats all the way to top of the building, the show lights hit you and the music starts; it’s show time!

Before you know it, the first Act is done and you get a chance to breathe at intermission.  Then, Act two starts and before you realize what is going on you are in finale and the show is done.  You finish and you are almost ready to go again because of the adrenaline. 

Having everyone in such a good mood, it was time to celebrate and congratulations was in order for making it through rehearsals and the first show!

No time to relax though; we may just be have opened, but we have to keep to it.

See you all in the north!
