As an Usher you’re consigned to the fact
that your stage is not the actual stage, but the foyers, bars and corridors
surrounding the auditorium. You may be able to hit every note of ‘Defying
Gravity’ from Wicked, know the
choreography of A Chorus Line inside
out, and have practiced dying on a barricade (the back of a sofa) at home for
when the call comes to join the cast of Les
Misérables, but that doesn’t matter.
