Well, the first night is over, and it went extremely well. In fact, of the two glitches in the performance one was entirely my fault, and the other actually made it funnier.
I forgot to set two champagne glasses on the table, which was a slight problem when Peter came to pour the champagne. Luckily, he stayed in character and summoned the butler to get two glasses.
The second glitch was Dominic's false moustache when he was pretending to be a gypsy violinist. It wouldn't stay on his lip. so he played the whole scene through his fingers. But since it was supposed to be a bad disguise anyway, it wasn't a disaster.
Apart from these glitches, everything went brilliantly. No one missed any lines, and all the performances were excellent, Linda got a round of applause after her salvation army monologue (well deserved, in my opinion).
All in all, after all the worries and uncertainty of the last week, it's all actually turned out great.

I don't think you needed to worry -- especially after what happened in the play that followed yours ...
