A fun weekend, doing "La Cage Aux Folles"!

On Friday, the Cagelles hit their stride and danced very well. Nevertheless, there were some dropped lines that caused problems.

Several tradition-minded relatives of one cast member came to the Friday night show. "What is the show about?" they asked her. "You'll see!" she said.

When Cagelle Daryl approached the audience during the 'Birds' segment, he made eye contact with one of the relatives, and winked. Apparently it completely creeped out the family member....

Craig Howard and Bob Roe apparently saw the Friday show.

Saturday's show was good. I was startled at one point, at the start of Act II, when a lost audience member came back stage. The elderly lady started laughing and almost came on stage from the wings, in search of her seat. I directed her out, and into the house, but according to Martin, she made quite an annoying fuss searching for her seat.

John Montagna saw the Saturday show.

Sunday show was fine!
