 ===== Set One ===== ===== Set One =====
 We walk in at about 7:50 PM to find a couple of the musicians -- ?Ania Reynolds? and Carl Polke -- performing in the lobby, much to the amusement of the gathered crowd. A minute or two to listen, then it's on and down to our seats in front. A bunch of OZzies are onstage doing random tricks -- balancing a tape-measure tape? //Hey, I could do that// -- and it's not even dangerous to try at home! Ghenoa is selling programs from a peanut-vendor style get-up, while others are wandering about in the theatre, interacting with the audience. Jeremy pulls an audience member up on stage for a card trick, but like most of his magic, the trick fails miserably. We walk in at about 7:50 PM to find a couple of the musicians -- ?Ania Reynolds? and Carl Polke -- performing in the lobby, much to the amusement of the gathered crowd.

-Eventually, the lights go down, and after a brief warning about the evils of acrobat-addling flash photography and ringing cell phones, the curtain rises to reveal Ania, suspended from the ceiling at the world's largest piano. It's not just a grand, it's stupendous. It's a veritable stretch limo of a piano -- at least 20' long. I am heartily amused! Ania plays a pompous classical riff as the piano is ever-so-slowly lowered towards the stage, coming to a halt about 10 or 12' high. With a flash of light, the rest of the band kicks in with a **WHAM!** and the drapery drops from the "piano" revealing it to be a giant I-beam. Huh-ho! The joke's on me! And thus we segue to the intial //construction// segment of the show, as the "piano" is deconstructed and the performers begin spinning acrobatically about the stage while striking the set for the first act. Bravo! A fine way to start things off!!+Eventually, the lights go down, and after a brief warning about the evils of acrobat-addling flash photography and ringing cell phones, the curtain rises to reveal Ania, suspended from the ceiling at the world's largest piano.
