Last night was the first dress rehearsal and it was the first time a bunch of us realized that it’s show time! Being up on that stage is the best feeling. The dancers are all working so hard – it’s hard work, but the best kind – and we’re definitely bonding a lot as well. Fingers crossed that the various injuries and illness plaguing the team go away by Thursday! Get your tickets now! They’re selling out!
