At long last, The Christmas Carol opens Friday evening. Curtain rises at 7:00 pm. The play is under two hours long, with a short intermission in between.

After Friday night's show, there's a cast & crew gathering at The Roadhouse. After Saturday night's show, everybody is invited to the party at the X-Mansion. Kurt will be handing out gifts to everybody - t-shirts with the above shown 'A Steampunk Christmas Carol' printed on front, and on the back the part they played (cast) or 'crew'.

If your character is part of the production, how did they do? Did they attend the parties on Friday and/or Saturday night?

If your character attended the show, did they enjoy themselves? Were they there to see and cheer for somebody specific? Did they hang with the cast and crew, afterward?

	Jesse nailed the lights bit. Except there was the faint sound of finger drumming and humming during the songs from his area. (Reply to this)

	Pete came since Yondu participated with the sets. He'd have sat next to him and laughed at the appropriate bits. Had a bag of M&Ms that he'd have shared among the Guardians. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Christmas Present, Crowd Scenes - Poe Dameron

Poe's playing a character that he really enjoyed playing and that's clear. His Christmas Present was a little flirtatious among the jolly-ness, but he nailed the more serious lines, cause they're ones he can believe, and that personal intensity was easily transmitted on stage.

He did not go to the Friday night gathering, probably - cause he and Rey and Finn were going to go out, but he definitely was at the Saturday night one.

Bob Cratchit - Eliot Waugh

Eliot performed as Bob Cratchit. He was really into the performance, since theatre was kind of his thing before he discovered that there was a school for magic, so this was easily his element. He would have come across as a very loving husband and Father in all of the family scenes; and probably had a lot of fun playing against Caroline with any of the bits involving him interacting with Scrooge.

He honestly just wanted to spend time with his people (the Cottage & Kylo) but he'd have most likely swung by the Roadhouse on Friday at least for a little while. He'd have probably also gone to the party at the X-Mansion.

	Baelfire wasn't as nervous this time around as he was in his previous performance. He did very well and the only real blip he had was he kind of stumbled trying to get to his blocking during one of the crowd scenes, but that really wasn't noticeable. He'd have gone to both parties!

She was here for Poe. Even though she had teased him about it being optional, there was no question in her mind that she was going to go. She'd have made Finn sit with her. She totally cheered at the end for Poe and whooped in excitement. He'd have gotten a bit hug when the play was over.

I don't know if she would have gone both nights but she was definitely there on Friday. If Finn wanted to go both nights, she's willing.

Albus was coming to support his Grandfather and because he assumed Helena would enjoy the play. She was also in attendance. She got very excited when she realized that Kitty was in the play, since Kitty is her dance teacher. They brought sweets to give to James as a congratulations type of thing and Helena made certain to snatch one from the bag to give to Kitty once she realized that she was part of the ensemble, too.

Albus wouldn't have likely gone to the gatherings since he had Helena but he congratulated everyone on a job well done.

Neal came because Henry was in the play. He'd possibly have come with Emma and Regina if they were attending (I'm assuming the did), but I'll get confirmation on this. He probably would have wanted to sit with them, too. Depending on what Henry would have wanted to do, he might have suggested they all go out for ice cream or dinner or something afterwards, but he'd understand if Henry wanted to go to the parties after.

He looked very proud of Henry and he'd have approached Baelfire, as well, to give him a word of congratulations.

	Alice went to support Max. She'd have sat near the back and give applause when it was over. She'd also have at some point told America that she enjoyed her performance, since they'd talked some in the past. She left soon after. (Reply to this)

	Kylo was there possibly both nights, but definitely Friday night. Eliot got a bunch of roses from him on Friday night. He was there for Eliot, and would have sought him out after to congratulate him, but anyone who was around Eliot might have gotten a 'I enjoyed your performance' sort of comment from Kylo who is trying to be more friendly with people, so that's a thing.

Gail's Characters

Kurt - SO PROUD OF EVERYBODY! He couldn't be more pleased with how it all turned out, and especially happy how the cast pulled to together when roles needed to be switched around. He was great in his role as Fred. He attended both parties and got good and drunk Saturday night. As much as he loves the theater and being a director, it's a lot of work and stress, and what with the show over, he has his life back! (I mean they still need to strike the set, put things away, and tidy up, but that's alright, he'll do that on Monday).

The Doctor - Attended the Saturday night performance (with River? with Martha? he would've invited them. He wouldn't have invited Clara because of Ten, or Rose because of Nine... didn't want to step on any toes, since Twelve figured his former regenerations had first call.). He was a little sad that he had to drop his role, but he thought Caroline did a smashing job, and sent a rose backstage with a note card to congratulate her. He would've attended the Saturday night show and had a blast hanging out.

Percy - Attended the Friday night performance with Zelda... a scene is being written in gdocs <3

John - Attended both performances to support Sherlock. Went backstage both times to see Sherlock and give him a quick, discreet kiss. On the Saturday performance he would've brought a bouquet of roses. He would've attended the parties, if Sherlock went.

Stephen - Made the Saturday performance, had a good time.

Alastor - Would've attended if Petunia asked, but otherwise, would've been happy just to stay at home.

Mycroft - Went to the Friday performance. Was one of those outside during intermission, smoking. Didn't stick around afterward to congratulate his brother, but would've done so in an "Oh yes, by the way" sort of manner the next morning, telling his brother that he did well.

	Zelda came with Percy, and while there were things that went over her head and things she doesn't have context of she did get the message the play tried to give and was utterly delighted by it all. (Reply to this)

Fan, Martha Cratchit, Crowd Scenes - America Chavez
She did pretty well - there wasn't any kind of "you can't even tell they're played by the same person!" brilliance, but she's got some acting experience, remembered all her lines, was fairly convincing etc. She went to both the parties.

Christmas Past, Crowd Scenes - Aracely Penalba
Aracely was super cute as the ghost and took advantage of the plausible deniability of theatre to use her powers to float around ethereally, all giggly and bossy in turns. She didn't go to the Roadhouse and she HMMed over the X-Mansion one because she tries to avoid all the telepaths (especially after accidentally nailing Quentin in the brain the other week) but in the end she turned up for a while.

TJ attended both shows and was at the Saturday party!
(Laura is back to herself but had to work both nights. She might catch the end of the party.
Remy is still Merlin on Friday, he'll be himself on Saturday but I think he'll stay out of town for the weekend so he can't come either.)
Melissa was barely out of quarantine on Friday night so she's coming on Saturday.
Angela will go if Sera drags her.

Kitty nailed the Cratchit role because if she didn't Kurt would be upset. She was a LOT more relaxed in the crowd scenes. And when she wasn't in any scenes, she was helping backstage with anyone who needed anything. You know, Producer and all.

And FYI, the backstage area was more than likely hyper organized. And probably labeled with a label maker to figure out how many of a thing they had so they could stay under budget. >.>

Sherlock had a blast, but you wouldn't know it unless you're very perceptive. He was surprised that so many of his friends showed up for him, and he did go to the after-parties, though he didn't linger for very long.

Noctis went to support Sherlock, his landlord, and hung out with Mycroft during intermission on Friday night (plenty of awful puns and a bit of teasing happened). He didn't go to the parties.
