So I might as well just come out with it. Your dear Vixen is delightfully dorky? Want proof? I'm about to quote Doctor Who. "Oh, yeah, but the theatre’s magic, isn’t it? You should know, stand on this stage, say the right words with the right emphasis at the right time… oh, you can make men weep, or cry with joy. Change them. You can change people’s minds just with words in this place."
It's a brilliant quote!
And so it is that I spent my night at the Aurora Fox for the opening night of Fully Committed. This is by far one of my favorite theatres, and this has become one of my favorite plays. Now though I didn't partake in actually seeing the show tonight (I am waiting to see the benefit industry night performance on Monday), I did get a great big dose of an opening night atmosphere.
It doesn't matter how long I have been in theatre, there is still an insatiable magic about opening night. The nerves. The anxiety. The trepidation. You don't even have to be involved in the show to feel it, the whole theatre seems to buzz with it.
The show had a great opening night! The audience was in love with the play, they had a brilliant reception with some of the best pie I have tasted, and I was drinking those delightful White Christmas Dreams I told you about a couple of posts back. So yummy!
I also found out the neatest thing. Tonight the lead actor of Fully Committed was celebrating his 5th anniversary with his partner, and they had met at the Fox! How romantic is that?
See, theatre is magic!
