Shooting in the dark?

Well, that helps a lot! Experiment with the settings on the camera, a lot, and don't underestimate the power of the lights. I just shot the Aladdin show at DCA, and was using aperture priority, ISO1600, f/1.8-f/8 or so, depending, and had the exposure compensation at least one stop down. You could also shoot shutter-priority, to keep the action stopped, but definitely play with the exp-compensation.

Congratulations to headliner for working on such a grand production! I bet she's having a ball.
