So, yesterday was my first full day of performing. I had a rehearsal with the cast for one show and then a rehearsal with the pop opera singer for another. Then, after one rehearsal each, I performed each show.
The opera show (That's Amore, Le Donna e Mobile, etc) was fairly clean, but not as good as I would have liked. Now that I know the show well enough, I can work with the band a little. The problem on a cruise ship is that we won't revisit the show until next cruise. So, we won't look at it for another 2 weeks.
The second show, basically a revue of 60's British pop music, went much better than in rehearsal. Although there were a couple of missed cues, the music itself was very clean. Audiences normally don't pick up on slight hitches in plot like people who know the show do, and we got a standing ovation at the end, so I think that went over pretty well.
It was a stressful night, but now that it's done and I have 2 light days, I think things should be good.
