I saw I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It On The Road again on Saturday, this time from the third row of the orchestra. The sound was a million times better than Tuesday's dress rehearsal, in part because of my better seat, but in part because they actually but body mics on the actors.
It was interesting to see how the show had been tightened after the final dress. (Besides the sound fixes, the opening was shortened and tweaked to make it more obvious to the audience that they should shut up and look at the stage.)
While it's always great to sit in the orchestra, I missed being able to see the entire band. On the other hand, certain bits of stage business read much more clearly from up close.
If only I had the opportunity to see every show multiple times from multiple locations!
Much has been made of Renée Elise Goldsberry's performance, and rightly so, but Christina Sajous (as one of the backup singers) took the lead on one of my favorite songs from the show, and she knocked it out of the park. Have a listen.
