Day 351 and 352: Another Apollo

I recently accepted a job to play for another show at the Apollo Civic Theater in Martinsburg, WV. This show was the classic Golden Age musical, Once Upon a Mattress. If you aren't familiar with the show, it's a musical adaptation of The Princess and the Pea. It was also written by Mary Rodgers, the daughter of the famous Richard Rodgers. Although, her musical couldn't be half of any of her father''s shows it was a decent show. I wasn't crazy about the music or the book. Also, given the fact that it was a community theater, it wasn't the greatest production but like Mary Rodgers, a good try. The production also proved that some sort of magic just happens on opening night and everything just falls into place. Well, if you see the time, I should go to sleep. Hopefully, a queen didn't put a pea under a mattress to keep me awake.
