SOOOO today, during the matinee performance, Kyle, our Usnavi, had to call out during intermission because he got intensely sick. This meant our original Sonny, Shaun, went in for Usnavi (without any Act 2 rehearsal time before-hand); our Male Ensemble member, Joseph, who covers Usnavi and Sonny, went on for Sonny (without any rehearsal) and Daniel, our Dance Captain and Male Swing went on for Joseph!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SO NUTS and this all happened during intermission. It was like "who's on first," but honestly, they worked it out. Everyone was sooo professional and it went so smoothly. I am so impressed and truly humbled by this talented cast more and more everyday. It was quite the excitement for the day and thank goodness Kyle went back in during the evening performance.
The swings were all running around helping Daniel and Joseph and Shaun, meanwhile, Shaun was helping Joseph with Shaun's personal track (sonny). It was so awesome how everyone pulled together. The show really must go on, and for the Heights Family, today it did.
Take a Look @ Atlanta as we say goodbye on Monday and move on to St. Louis!!!
Luv video! More videos! Thought for the day: "Good" is the enemy of "Great"; always have stretch goals for "greatness" Meet you in St Louis Friday!
