Welcome to Gaia! ::

Last year, we did Lucky Stiff. There was a platform seven feet or so in the air, and staircases on either side. I was a nightclub singer: Dominique Du Monaco. I had a biiig musical number called What is Love if You Don't Speak French. (Which you should def listen to if you have a chance).

So I'm wearing this long purple beaded evening gown and three inch heels and I'm walking down the stairs as sexily as a crazed ballerina you can't really sing sans fake french accent can. I finish the first few lines, and get to "Come with me/You will see/The way we do things/in the South of France here!" and decide it would be really cool to step down on the beats. I get through that first line and then go CAREEENING down the stairs.

I slid offstage on my shoulder (and had a lovely black bruise tehre and on my shin for the rest of the school year) and then ran back onstage.

Needless to say. It was insane.

And now, in theatre major studies, people still remember that time that 'zoey fell down the stairs.'

oh, and the night before, the male lead was supposed to pick me up off of a table and spin me around before setting me down.

He dropped me. I felt huge. (And I'm not. Size 4, thank you.)

I've got a couple:

When I was playing Janet in the Rocky Horror Show, my breasts peeped out of my bra not once, but TWICE during the course of the show (once, for about fifteen minutes before I finally realized what happened). I laughed it off, though, and had a good time anyway.

And when I was Rosie in Bye, Bye Birdie, during a particuarly funny scene in which I back away from some drunk guys, I took one step too far. My heel slipped off of the platform I was on, and I'm sure I made a face a lot like this: eek . One of the other actors managed to grab me, but not before I heard a rather loud gasp from the audience, which pretty much killed the scene from then on. People weren't focused on the play anymore, just me nearly breaking my neck.

During Little Shop of Horrors, myself, Seymour, and Audrey all forgot to memorize Closed for Renovations. We didn't know what to do, so it sounded more like -
We're closed for renovations! We're ... da da da da da da! etc.

I also saw Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick crack up onstage during The Odd Couple. It just goes to show you that it can happen to anyone.

Ah yeah also in Les Miserables the gunshot didnt go off to kill Gavrouche so the same idiot who played Oberon in MND who was playing Enjolras (God knows why cause he cannot sing, went flat and sharp in the same line now thats embarrassing) made a gun shot noise into his mic. It was so obvious and hilarious!

i was a chours member in music man when i was a freshman. i am also very short so i got to be one of the girls in the scene where they come out banging things and that one boy lanchs afirework under the old lady or somthing anyway

we had the uglyest cousttums they where like moo or as i called them "fat lady tents" an lthey where very drafty and i triped over mine as i had to run behind the set (set=1foot from the wall) it made an awful nosie but lucky it was during a big number

im short so i also got to be one of our 6 boys band members and i almost had to cut my hair beace i could not fit it under the ugly hat.
gotta love music man

I just remembered something else from our drama final:
Dave was supposed to shoot Nick, and Nikki and I were supposed knap it with a book against the stage. Well... we were soooo thrown off by the not scene change that we forgot, so Dave stood there, gun out, and Nick just stared at him. A second later, he goes 'bang'. Everyone laughed, but thank god Dave didn't (on stage, at least(

And speaking of SOM veranda's, we had just this tall window thing held down by sandbags. One of the nights during '16 going on 17' it fell over. Tiffinay and Keith didn't even flinch. They just kept going. Funny enough, they had their backs to it, so they didn't see it. When they got off stage, they freaked out. They had no idea what had happened. That, my friends, is amazing acting.

For the spring musical, the drama club did Once on This Island, which is a cute musical with a fun score.

For those who aren't familiar with it, at the end of the second act, the leading man Daniel marries a woman named Andrea instead of the love of his life, Ti Moune. Now, most of our line ******** are easy to fix with some quick thinking. But a freshman's line was something along the lines of "And Daniel and Andrea were married." Simple, easy. It's just how it goes. Instead, she uttered "And Andrea and Ti Moune were married".

And the audience is just like "What."
