The show went amazingly, nothing went wrong and yes, we had all the audience standing in the last two nights.
On the last day I had come down with something or another and was feeling terrible, so on Saturday night my Stage Manager let me sit at the top of the auditorium with the spotlight operators (including Tom the technician from The Windmill in Blatch) and watch the very last show. I'm incredibly grateful to my SM for letting me do that, as seeing the show from the front, instead of from the wings is very interesting as you can see your work in progress. Although it was odd seeing people do my job even if they did do it perfectly.
The show was featured in the local newspaper the Argus: Link to Article
Also, while I was standing in the box office, a punter came up and asked the Ticket Collector next to me where the show was touring to next, she assumed we were the professional Touring Hairspray!
A lesson learned today:
Always try to see the show you're working on from the audiences point of view at some point. It's a completely different experience.
