Okay, so I wasn't imagining things. I really did hear what sounded like a grief-stricken shriek at the end of the murder scene. Wow.
At the first rehearsal I attended, that week before the tech run, I was so shocked by the murder sequence, I gasped out loud. When the lights, the strobe, and the low drone I came up with were added in, I found myself shaking when the scene was over. But when you combined an audience with the intensity of actors and the Chorus in a true performance, I was holding my breath every night until the lights came up for the Knights' speeches.
I can tell you that the last time I was this moved by show I was in was 20 years ago, when I did Godspell and lost it every night during the wailing wall sequence. Believe me, it's tough to play the organ part of "Finale" when you can't see the keys clearly. :)
Thanks for putting that extra energy into your performance last night. It made the last show all the more incredible.
