Nutcracker 2025 show 6

Had a honest to god real “no, after YOU” standoff.

Neither Drosslemeyer or the prop guy who does a puppet bunny wanted to get into their hole first. Each wanted to wait til the other was settled in their place.

Stage management arbitrated like they were both 5 years old.

Nutcracker 2025 show 5

One of the Mama G performers hasn’t figured out that he’s supposed to shower the crew with love on one of his rotations.

Now it’s a campaign to get him to notice us. Stage right and left will have a friendly competition for his affection.

I expect all out war soon enough.

The kids usually start off the show run timidly and get looser before someone has to put the fear of god back into them a week before the end of the run.

We may be speed running this process this year. The sass and energy levels are already off the charts

Nutcracker 2025 show 3

One of my very favorite things that happens every show, our stage manager takes a breath. Just after bringing the house lights to half and tuning the orchestra but before the barrage of top of show standbys to say “ok everyone, let’s go to work”

Do you WANT Cybermen? Because this is definitely how you get cybermen.

Nutcracker 2025 show 2

The thing I have long feared has happened. The crew has decided MY desk is the place to put treats. So I have tons of yummy looking desserts sitting at my desk.

I mean, yeah sure people come and eat them and they dwindle. But in the meantime, they sit.

AND THEY TAUNT ME.

Just shady enough to be useful. But I recommend we take his phone. I dont trust him to post about where he is. I said help, i didnt say reliable.

It’s the way of the true cat owner to accept that the furry pint size roommate hath no fucks to give.

I told them to say hi but Rumble says ”wut” and Peep says “meh”.

I completely believe Peep would be capable of this.

You’re also worth going for the trifecta, breakfast for breakfast, breakfast for lunch, and breakfast for dinner.

I accidentally did this once and it was so totally awesome.
