First performance went pretty well. It wasn't perfect, but we had about 95% of it. The one thing that really kind of bothered me (and Brian, which he mentioned after the show) was that the orchestra was out of tune. Unfortunately, the "orchestra" is actually made up of some high school kids and some twentysomethings that haven't had near enough time to practice the music, so I dunno whether it'll get any better over the next few shows. It wasn't horribly noticeable some of the time, but other times it was enough to set my teeth on edge. We also had some interesting issues with microphones not picking up some of the lines, but that seems to be pretty much par for the course when you're working with wireless mics, so I'm not going to worry about it. Most of the people who're coming to see this are familiar with the words, anyway.

I'm also glad that we've finally finished (mostly) with rehearsals - I was out until 11 again last night, and if I'd been in the principal cast it would've been later. I'm still getting a decent amount of sleep (7 hours or so), but not as much as I'd like, and as a result I've been pretty groggy lately in the mornings. However, tonight we're only called for the performance, so I'll get home a bit earlier and maybe take some time to clean up the house - Brian's been sick with whatever it was I had over Thanksgiving and I just haven't been home, so the place looks more or less like a tornado hit scene.

In other news, my mother's coming on Saturday (yes, this has something to do with the proposed house-clean-up effort), and her boyfriend will be joining us soon after. I'm looking forward to meeting him - I've talked with him online a fair amount and he strikes me as a fun person. Plus he seems to be a very good influence on my mother (read: he's patient enough to deal with all the defense mechanisms she's developed for dealing with the men in her life, most of which have been dickheads).

Anyway, back to waiting for the phone to ring...
