THANK YOU Schenectady!
What an amazing night.
The Friday and Saturday night audiences in Schenectady were out of control!
(In the best of ways!)
Never have I had so much fun onstage with an audience.
The audience was literally singing with us from beginning to end!
Tonight, we had a standing ovation at INTERMISSION.
What a blast.
WE are SO LUCKY.
(OH. Did I mention that people...came ONSTAGE after bows during "Don't Stop Believin'!" There were about 6. crazy. Joey and I were escorting them off during the last chorus before the wonderful Ian Carr came in to save the day!!)
Real Life:
Not only do I do audio, but also security? Escorted drunk patrons Off of the stargaze during curtain call."
Facebook Status Quotes from ROA Cast/Crew:
Holy shit Schenectady this is insane!! Standing ovation for the end of act one!!! I can't even breathe....my whole life I've dreamed of this. I had no idea it could feel this good.
The stage was rushed- a mosh pit was formed- people were drunk and belting along-women were slapped-police were involved----guess we did our job right! and the best part....my parents and brother were there to see the amazingness that is my job! 2 shows left Schenectady--i challenge you to do more than you've already done! :)
Tonight's performance of Rock of Ages included 1,400 drunk people, 6 people removed from the theatre for throwing drinks, bitch slapping and hair pulling. Police are on the way. That's how you do ROA! — at Proctors Theatre. Remember that time there were 1,500 drunk people, 6 people taken away from the theatre for throwing drinks, and women slapping each other. And then during the bows people joined us on stage with beers????!!!! Just an elegant day at the office that is ROCK OF AGES!!!!!!!!!!!!! you betta weeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkk
