Hoooo boy, was yesterday fun! It was a long day, and I loved every second of it. The set looked great, the costumes were vibrant, and there were plenty of laughs. I cannot express the feeling that I had when I first walked onstage after hearing Sasha call my name and being in a hot room with multiple cameras, sparkley things everywhere and a room full of about 120 eager and supportive fans. Incredible. Getting spits (no spoilers) was pretty great, too. Our production team and all the cast was so great and the show was so fun and it was neat doing this show for TV instead of the stage--it just had a different feel to it. I can't wait to see the final product, and also to shoot more shows in the future (I hope!)
Of hilarious note to me: Since I couldn't use many of my old tried and true bits due to music rights, I spent a lot of time fretting over my new bits and making sure that I had lots of material to build towards to not crap out onstage. Well, it turns out that a lot of bits were cut or shortened mid-day due to show timing, but also that you can't beat the old classic magic of Cutie Bumblesnatch--the ole "stand and stare."
Here are some production photos from the day. Hopefully more will come soon!
