The Matrix: first night
Last night was the first Edinburgh performance of The Matrix: The Pantomime.
We sold out.
(In a good way).
I'm slightly in shock. I've done six Edinburgh shows before, five of them pretty good, and this is the first sold-out performance.
The actual performance was good, though could have been improved in places. My daming was slightly off at the beginning, and there was a confused bit in the middle where Neo and Morpheus managed to interpolate a joke from one scene into an earlier one (but, to their credit, recovered, and didn't repeat any lines - we all noticed, because we're very familiar with the script, but I'm not sure if the audience did). And special notice must go to Keith, playing Cypher, who nailed the part. The audience, however, were absolutely awesome, got all the jokes, had huge enthusiasm, did all the "he's behind you" etc with gusto, and were generally great to perform to.
83 tickets left for tonight. We can do it again. Oh yes.
