Natalie had finally hit something of a comfortable stride with Ecuadoria in the previous day's dress rehearsal. There were a few bits where she faltered and her own mild, stiff ways shone through, but she got over those admirably. Ecuadoria was bubbly, but in a sharp, sometimes even slightly dark way. She was naive, sure, but not harmless. Even if she did end up dead at the end.

And Natalie looked really good in the corset, garter belt and fishnets over regular tights for an illusion of more skin that was actually visible during the floor show, even if she preferred glitzy vest and jacket of the early parts of the play more.

Natalie might not have been entirely comfortable strutting her stuff on stage, but she could fake it well enough. And if nothing else, no one was likely to claim she couldn't sing, after tonight.

Kenzi hit her drumsticks over her head for a four-count, and then LAAAA there was drumming. And lo, it was awesome. And way too much fun.

Jono, clad in his brand new black leather, was quite happy to be not quite in the spotlight for this production. He was armed with his cherry-red Stratocaster, and the musical performance tonight had a definite sort of bite to it, between Kenzi's drumming and his guitar.

If anyone asked him about it after the show, he'd deny that he enjoyed it half as much as he did.

The enthusiasm and energy backstage stayed with Cindy all throughout the performance. Sure, in rehearsal, the notes had been hit, the lyrics correct, the blocking accurate, but nothing could change the electric feeling of being on the stage, singing for the audience, making the whole show come together.

"I was feeling done in, couldn't win
I'd only ever kissed before."

"I thought there's no use getting
Into heavy petting
It only leads to trouble
And seat wetting.

Now all I want to know is how to go.
I've tasted blood and I want more."

Trick rather liked his role in the show. Though the show actually began several songs before he made his appearance, it wasn't until he began speaking that things really started happening. He was the story-teller and so the real story only began when he did.

" I would like, ah, if I may, ...to take you on a strange journey. It seemed a fairly ordinary night when Lad Minors and his fiancee Garnet Spice, two young, ordinary, healthy kids, left Denton that late November evening, to visit a Dr. Everett Rott, ex-tutor, and now friend to both of them. It's true there were dark storm clouds, heavy, black, and pendulous, towards which they were driving. It's true, also, that the spare tire they were carrying was badly in need of some air, but, uh, they being normal kids and, on a night night out... well, they were not going to let a storm spoil the events of their evening, were they?...

On a night out...it was a night out they were going to remember...for a very long time."

Hercules wasn't the typical build for his part, but he owned it.

And when it came to belt out 'Sweet Transvestite', he did so with gusto. He could sashay with the best of them, it seemed.

Rag-Tag greeted Lad and Garnet to the mansion, giving her best 'mildly creepy,' and then...the fun could begin.

"It's astounding;
Time is fleeting;
Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely..."

Quinn was a day late and a dollar short was nervous up until she hit the line about Fay Wray in the song.

Then she looked out over the audience, saw nobody seemed about to boo, and realized everything was getting much easier. From there on, she gave herself over to being Fuschia. The accent was maybe a little wobbly, but she was having fun; that seemed to be what mattered most.
