Fun fact: The rope that Cliff and the Men's Chorus use to wrap themselves in is 80 feet long.

The matinee warm up song was "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.

SHOUT OUTS:

The front row audience members who graciously put the cowboy hat back on the stage after it accidentally went winging out into the audience during "Will-A-Mania". Now that's 3D!

Luci would like to give a shout out to whoever built the ramp in the wings, allowing her and Ruth to roll the piano in and out by themselves.

Thanks to the patron who found and returned an actor's hat that had blown off her head. Darn those wigs!
