Maria was on f-cking fire. Fire.

It was amazing tonight. Seriously. Jeremy was the perfect a--hole (I mean, of course, that he was the perfect Kevin). Susan had Valeri dead on and was hilarious as Danielle. Rob was great as Jamie and charming as Joe. Jocelyn ran those cues like clockwork. Dana was cool as a cucumber.

And Maria was ON FIRE.

One night down. Two to go.

Photos tomorrow, because tonight was all about just watching.

And in case you're wondering about the soundtrack:

Samba Pa Ti by Santana - One of my favorite songs from childhood and makes me think of a phoenix rising from the ash

Hechicera by Mana - About a spellbinding woman, which I think Ayla is in this scene, keeping two men

Panic Song by Green Day - It just screams drugs to me, jonesing for it, anyway, and it's just a wicked good pick up on the energy

Fourth of July by U2 - Jeremy's pick for his monologue, which works really well--I don't think I'll ever hear this song again and not think of the line, "Some girls are like paper."

Guitar Flute and String by Moby - I had to use Moby and I love this song, so in it went, being slightly melancholy

Butterfly in Reverse by the Counting Crows Tribute - I had to stick CC in there, so I found an instrumental version of this song, since it makes me think of Ayla a bit

Witch Hunt by Rush - Jeremy's suggestion (he's really into Rush--note the shirt in scene 4) when we came up short for a song, and it works well, flowing with the witchiness of the cast (yes, Maria)

Little Wing by Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble - We thought to use the Jimi version but this instrumental version works better with the timing of the show (and who doesn't love SRV?)

Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton - This was a surprise for my boyfriend, because it's our song and it's supposed to be us at the end
