After tonight’s final dress of The Wedding Singer, I feel a bit more secure about tonight’s opening night performance. The invited audience of mainly senior citizens defied my expectations by embracing (or maybe just overlooking) the f-bombs and overt sexuality written into the script. Grandma and grandpa were even up shakin’ their groove thangs during the curtain call!

I’m not saying the run was perfect by any means, but no train wrecks. I’ll have my usual notes and last minute blocking changes. Honestly, it wouldn’t be a Pineda production without me changing the choreography for at least one number during the half hour call tonight.

What I’m most looking forward to about opening tonight? - not having to commute to NJ next Tuesday for rehearsal. My fingers are crossed for many broken legs tonight.
