Last night a fire alarm went off in the middle of the Napoleon medley in Best of Broadway. At first we thought it was a car alarm or someone's extra-loud pager. At the end of the song, Dave, who was in the song, asked the audience to leave and come back after the fire department had turned off the alarm. The alarm kept up its ear-splitting ring for ten minutes or so while audience and performers waited outside. Then we started the show again. Nearly the entire audience came back. But with the fire alarm and all the microphone problems, it was a tragic night. Unfortunately, this was the night that Jennifer came, bringing Robin, who had never seen the show before. And I heard someone say that the Bee reviewer was there too.
Later I heard that someone broke into the school during the performance, looking to steal computers, and may have set off the alarm.
