the best compliment I had was after oliver when my bosses sister came to see the show and didnt know I was playing Nancy We had 2 professional actors in (playing sikes and brownlow) and she thought they had one in playing nancy not knowing it was me. That not reconising me was the best compliment I could have ever got.

After an opera show I did (Cunning Little Vixen, if anyone knows it) and the conductor, who was supposed to be a real big-shot, came up to me after and said"Brava,Brava, very good". He didn't know English very well, but I was still extremely flattered. xd

After Monty Python and the Holy Grail at my high school, my directors told me I did the best valleygirl French Guard they had ever seen. I was... proud... but kinda afraid, too.

Sound of Music. I was cross dressing (the best part of any theatre experience of course!) as Max. A little boy who I knew that played Kurt came up to me after dress rehersal and told my that his dad actually though I was a man. xd This made me so happy. It sounds odd, but I tried so hard to act like a 40 year old money grubber. I got many compliments from that show. heart

I think one of the highest compliments I've ever gotten.......well there were two actually.
The first was, this past Spring, our musical was Seussical. Now apparently, on braodway, it was utter and total crap. One of the Broadway diresctors is friends with our director and she brought him in to view our performance. He got up on stage opening night and told us we did it twenty times better than the broadway production and deserved and Oscar.
The second one was that twice a year, I perform vocally in recitals. We perform in the Marian Anderson music hall. One year, her nurse came and watched our performance and she had her husband wheel her to me to tell me that Ms. Anderson would have been proud to hear a voice that matched her voice's spectacular wonder, performing in a hall named after her. And that I had the same potential to achieve greatness

I love it when really old people or really young people like you. I was in a version of "Alice in Wonderland" at my school and I played the "Mock Turtle" and one of the crew mothers told me that her mother was in the audience and that she usually is so hard to please but I made her laugh. That was really nice. smile
Another one was when I was playing this tone-deaf rock star named Ellen in a class play, and one of my class-mates said "I was watching you and all I could think was 'wow, that girl has no shame'. But don't worry, that's a good thing!"
But of course, I think the best compliments are during the show when the audience reacts to you. That's such an awesome feeling.

"We couldn't tell the play sucked!" Said by my mother after my dismal review of our performance for This Is A Test, as we all forgot most of our lines.

My senior year I played Agnes Smith in Meet Me in St. Louis. After one of the shows the woman who actually played Agnes Smith in the movie with Judy Garland came up to me and said I did a really good job!

We got a ton of compliemtns after Lucky Stiff. We got the biggest audience we'd ever seen in our two years at our high school (it was a nine-ten school, my school district is weird) and we got the first standing ovation we'd gotten in a looooooooong time (like.... before my theatre teacher had been there I think).
After Les Mis my friend who played Eponine said an old man came up to her and told her she'd made him cry during On My Own and/or A Little Fall of Rain (I can't remember which).
And after Metamorphoses people told us it was just really cool (we had a flipping awesome set. Pool on stage, it rained, and the audience sat on stage). They said that the Pandora's Box effect scared them senseless (which made me happy because that was the hardest cue in the show to get).

David Ayers graduated from my high school. He came back to talk to us a few days ago (since he's having surgery soon and all), and since we had a show going on, he came to see it. He gave personal compliments to everyone in the cast. He told me "YEAH! Keep going, keep going! You're in the right place." And I could have died.

I played a nun in Sound of Music like last year when I was fourteen and there were a few other younger nuns and like six adults, but everyone told us that we sounded just like a professional group. We were so proud. I even remember this one girl said to me and another nun, (I think Caroline was with me) "You guys are so amazing! It's so awesome how you go so high and then so low like that! I wish I could sound like you!"
It wasn't directed at any one of us in particular, but it still made up feel very happy.

I was in a short play called "Sorry, Wrong Number," and my character really annoyed me. I talked to the director, and she said "Dont worry, I have confidence in you. You can do it, that's why I cast you as her." So, I kept at it and kept at it. I had about every other line, and most of them were about 3 to 4 sentaces long, and they were all saying basically the same thing, but none mde sence in the other's place (does that make sence?). So, naturally, on the night of the performance, I was really nervous bout the lines and seeing how my character would act... i didnt have time to develop her very well. At the end of the play, though, my teacher came up to me and said "I have seen this show professionally, and your character really bugged me, but when you played it, I really felt sorry for the character, and I know that's how the (late) author of the play meant it."
