"Please send me your last pair of shoes, worn out with dancing as you mentioned in your letter, so that I might have something to press against my heart."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Yesterday denoted the very first opening of The Nutcracker 2008, & I am elated to be part of its production :) The opening wasn't as spectacular as what its expected. Maybe to us small soldiers. Cos' something really unfortunate happened right there, live on stage. Perhaps most of the audiences at the back couldn't really see it but it was as clear as putting us under the microscope for audiences seated infront. & Its very much unfair to the audiences who actually saw our flaws.
So, small soldiers were set upon stage in our cute little castle. Sturdy looking, no doubt it can actually hold all our weights. We were rolled on stage on time, check. We stood really still, no swaying, no wavering, check. JiaHui kicked the door on time, check. Door open, uncheck.
THE CREW FORGOT TO UNLOCK THE CASTLE DOOR.
So yay, we got stuck there while JiaHui tries her might to karate the door open. In the end Faye suggested to just crawl through the tiny gap between the door. Faye's hat fell to her neck & gradually Natalie & Stacie kicked the door open. We were almost late & the rest of the performance for us was pretty much screwed with most of us still unable to recuperate from the shock. But alright, mistakes are inevitable. I enjoyed my time on stage :D & The soldiers exterminated all the nasty rats :P

Cast A Small Soldiers 2008.
The feeling on stage is so exhilarating, whether or not the limelight's on you. Its just spectacular.
