Photo of the (Yester)day: Beauty and the Beast kickline
From Darla Biccum (one of our cast member)’s Facebook page, here we are rehearsing Beauty and the Beast yesterday. This is the end of Be Our Guest. I’m the tall fellow on the right who has bravely taken off his dust mask to sing.

The dust wasn’t quite as bad today since fewer people were working on site. My biggest problem: I hurt my back in the wolf scene. I’m hoping a good night’s sleep will make a world of difference, but we’ll see in the morning…
The show must go on!
