Fiddler got a late start because of the full-house. We also had a full-house on Friday night. The show seemed a little flat on Friday. I know I was down. Tired. The Friday night audience reacted to Tevye better than any of the previous houses. Interesting. The audience is the medium in which the play moves.
The Saturday show was better. I at least got all my lines right. It's funny, but I think I "over-live" the show. No two performances are ever the same. Sometimes they're not even close. I get pulled into the moment and sort of go with the flow.
Brian, on the other hand, is very consistent. His stuff doesn't vary much, if at all, from night to night. Mike is more like me. So is Sally, the gal playing Golde. Brian is the guy in the picture.
Seven more chances to get it right ... whatever that means.
