One of my favorite memories from this play was during our last show. As the "Prologue" was starting, we realized that all the stage lights were not working, and therefore, the only sources of light were the two spotlights. When it was time for the opening song "Belle", the stage was EXTREMELY dark... Basically, if you weren't in the spotlight, you couldn't be seen at all. We went along with the scene smoothly, though internally we were confused. Afterwards, the curtains were shut and the director had to announce technical difficulties. The entire cast rushed off stage wondering what was happening, but we instead gathered around the piano and sang songs we had been learning in chorus. A few minutes later, the musical director came into the room saying the ligths were fixed, but the house (auditorium) lights would have to stay on. He was grateful for our patience and we got back into our places, and put on our final show.
