So this happened a few cities ago, I can't remember where, but we were in the middle of a show and doing the Grabbing Goblin's number called "Oh The Things That Goblin Has Grabbed." During this number I have on the costume that I still don't have a picture of. It's my boxes costume which is literally boxes and books which cover my trunk and extremities. The top of the costume is lined with a purple feather boa. So we start the number and I'm about to sing so I take a BIG breath in and "uh" there is a purple feather now stuck to the back of my throat! Now, in this costume I have no use of my hands, they are covered with a box on one side and a quiver on the other. So gag and try desperately to use my tongue to dislodge said feather. Then I realize "crap! I'm onstage! I need to look like I'm singing! " So I'm up there, in this ridiculous costume trying to look like I'm singing, while trying to get the feather out of my throat. I finally get it, but then I'm stuck with a feather in my mouth! Quick thinking, I put my head down, spit the feather into my costume, look up and finish the number like the true professional I am!
How's that for a story?
