*woggle woggle*

Just finished the read/sing-through of my musical. I need a drink.

Okay, I have a drink. Now I need a, a...something to stop me from vibrating with excitement for the entire rest of the day.

I kind of can't believe it's already over. Like, it's so long! And it took so much work to have some people read and sing things I wrote in front of other people. Who knew? Oh, right, anyone involved in theater, i.e. not me. But yes, there were plenty of people there to read, sing, play, film, and witness Fire and Ice.

The library closed about two minutes after I finished singing the last note, so nobody could stay and hobnob about it, but I think the majority of the audience took a moment to shake my hand and say something to effect of, "That was awesome." People clapped after the best songs, laughed even more than I expected (yes, it's a tragedy, but it can't be leaden for two and a half hours), and did indeed seem yanked around by the heartstrings, just as I wanted. I'm sure it can use some tweaking (and seven more arrangements, out of nineteen), but I think it's safe to say, it works.

Next stop, Broadway! :P
