Waiting For The Magic To Happen

Expect the unexpected.

When we can’t be completely sure what a particular singer or comedian or actor is going to do…well that is a part of the entertainment isn’t it? In fact, I would argue that there should always be that element of uncertainty and surprise in any form of art. Otherwise it’s not really art. It’s just paint by numbers.

Playing the “hits” by rote might suit some performers and some audiences. And even that will have a certain element of uncertainty.

But when the unexpected is expected, when it’s an intended part of the creation, there is alway an extra level of electric excitement in the air.

We are waiting, on tenterhooks, for the magic to happen.
