Backstage is exciting. Everyone wants to be backstage. Everyone who is backstage wants to be backstage…even the people who try so hard to act like they don’t…they know.
Backstage is exciting because there is a show about to happen ON stage. If there weren’t a show about to happen, the backstage area would have a very different vibe. Without the show the backstage hang just isn’t the same.
The anticipation, suspense, tension, special boots, tiny deli sandwiches, significant others, guests, not enough room, not enough bottled water, annoying warm up routines, small talk, super deep talk, weird talk, leather, who’s who, sharpies and sped up heart beats right before stepping on stage…
All of these are in their finest form because of the magic of what is about to happen on stage.
