The magic of opening night isn’t that everything is going to be perfect. The magic is that this might not work.
If I wanted to go see a show that was perfect, I would just stream something on Netflix.
Because the chance that it might not stream is low. The chance for someone messing up a line or missing a lighting que or having a wardrobe malfunction is virtually zero.
The reason you go to a show and pay ten times the price you would to stream a movie isn’t to see perfection. No, it’s to interact with a tribe. (People like us do stuff like this.) It is to watch something remarkable and meaningful. We want to see something that can make us cry.
It is a safe bet that nothing will go wrong by staying home. But if failure is not an option, then neither is success.
