- I am grateful for the moment when I was backstage dressing for Motown: The Musical and I got to stand in the wings stage left top of show and watch as the curtain rose to the actors following the curtain's raise with their eyes so that their heads would tilt from the floor to the sky as the curtain rose in perfect synchronicity with the music.
