Default Re: To take a cue or not take a cue, that is the question

Well, I don't have to say anything, it has all been said. But, just because, I will say, at least in theatre, you only take a cue when it is called. Then it isn't your fault if it is wrong, even if you get blamed. I also second Footer, I make it a point to never learn the show, and I only watch the show when I am in standby and while a cue is running. You need to look up every now and then to make sure the cues still look right.
