Quotes from the evening: 

"I'm confused."
"I'm so confused."
"This is so confusing." ~ Heard frequently, variously & often. 

"It was meant to be pink." 
Said costume prop was still white. Communication breakdown. 

"How was your day off?" ~ Naive (albeit otherwise lovely) Ensemble boy N. 
(Knowledgable fellow cast member E. next to him started chuckling.) 

Me: "Where's that *!#*¿¿* cape?!" 
Lovely Ensemble Boy G.: "Oh, I put it in the garbage can during "King of Broadway". 

~ Of course he did. Logically. 

"That's the gay coatrack. Didn't you know?" 

I got involved with the pigeon set move for the Roof scene. I had to 'page' the curtain. (Although I heard "cage", which sort of makes sense too. Emily & I decided that was British English.) Overall its entrance didn't go too smoothly.

Wendy: "Why are we holding?" 
Luke: "Because it's dark & we can't see." 
Wendy: "That's a silly answer." 

(The pigeons, by the way, are awesome. Puppets! I shall take photos to show you.)

... Third Dress tonight.
