"... a good time was had by all."
And we are finished.
Our revival of Hurt So Good was a success - it's nice to know the production's success the first time around wasn't just a cosmic aligment or some other fluke. People genuinely enjoyed the story. Everyone left the theatre charged with laughter and excitement and hopefully, a few left a little enlightened.
Now that the show is over, I thought I'd inlcude a few snippets from the run:
THE SHOW WHERE EVERYTHING BROKE
Okay, I exaggerate, but we did have one show where everything seemed to fall apart. I lost my contact lense in the middle of a scene, Johnny's watch broke apart mid-spank and his earring flew out of his ear at some point in act two. I wouldn't be surprised if the lamp gag malfunctioned during this show, too!
THE SHOW WITH THE HECKLERS
I know this can be a taboo subject and cause people discomfort, but the audience we had one night included several people who were vocally bothered by what they were watching. They were inebriated and felt the need to make fun of the production throughout... snickering at moments, talking back and calling out to each other at other moments. We knew this night would be interesting when the show opened and a woman in the front row took a call and proceeded to tell the person on the other end, "I can't talk, I'm at a show! I'm at a SHOW!" No stage whispering there, no actually getting off the phone. It was truly a night to remember and for many members of our cast, their first experience with a heckling crowd!
THE SHOW WITH THE LAUGHERS
We had a couple of shows during the run that had some wonderfully enthusiastic audience members, so much so that we had to do some serious pausing to accomodate for all the laughter. Not a bad problem to have! Trouble was, the first show with such an audience threw us for a loop because we weren't used to such a boisterous response... I admit the audience probalby lost half of what I was saying during my first scene because I wasn't prepared to pause for their extended laughter.
THE SHOW WITH THE STANDING O
Our final Friday show was treated to a standing ovation from two audience members who happened to be pro-dommes. One was even dressed exactly like Mistress Lyla... or I suppose I should say that our character of Mistress Lyla was dressed just like HER! Hats off to the costume designer for authenticity! It was so touching to have people in the scene appreciate the show.
THE SHOW WITH THE AMAZING CAST
This was every show. I just wanted to note how special it was to work with such a great group of people who were professional and genuinely enjoyed working with each other. With a cast of twenty, this is no small feat! Great job everyone. I, for one, had an amazing time working on Hurt So Good! Thank you for a great experience!
