Yesterday, as the snow fell on Richmond a nearly full audience leapt to their feet after the final performance of The Elephant Man.Even with one of our understudies (Cassandra Hamilton) jumping into the role of the Princess Alesandra (as well as jumping into a refitted wig and costume- thank you Costumers!), and with some very quick music changes - the audience was rapt. This Bloginator has received three phone messages this morning from friends who were in the audience who were overwhelmed by the work they saw in the Hodges. One caller wanted to be sure Ausin received "back massages and a long soak in a hot tub."
Suggestion noted.
The comments overheard in the lobby were full of praise and accolades. One blogger (I Could Go On) said
"The cast, particulary Austin Seay as Merrick and Matthew Johnson as the doctor, made it easy to forget that it wasn't a troupe of professionals."
Congratulations to the cast and crew who made the magic at every performance.
