So…multiple audience members have walked out of the show that I’m currently in, and I’m pretty sure it has to do with the content (lot of swearing, lot of masturbation jokes). Idk, trying to not take it personally, but it’s a little tough. Especially when we lost the entire first row at today’s matinee performance.
One of my favorite things about Jane Austen is that she knew the real fear wasn’t running into some terrifying Frenchman or finding your lover’s wife in the attic…it was having to spend time with someone who is slighter cooler than you are, or playing piano in front of a critical audience, or thinking a picnic will be the perfect time for your jokes but then it isn’t
So, I'm in a production of [title of show], which is semi-infamously a musical about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical. Is it amazing, is it self indulgent, the world may never know, but I sure hope people come to see it.
