I can't really tell you much you probably don't already know.

Definately lots of breath support. Breathing from the diaphragm rather than from the throat. Also, try to not get nervous because the tone tends to get breathy when someone is nervous.

On the higher notes, try not to keep the tone too dark. This will also help.

YES BREATHING is SO IMPORTANT and she u have as my teacher wouls say "HEAVY POUCH" so when you get higher you need more support especially to project. And ensure you have "CAPTIAN HOOK" formation which is like a HOOKED sound that feels like its VERY RATTLING lol... Dont wry about how it sounds to you cuz your WILL LIE TO YOURSELF lol aka BUCKET VOICE which sounds good to ourselves buh not to others... DONT FORCE it out ensure that it's comfortable so KEEP practicing and dont get dicouraged and DRINK A LOT of WATER... Hope it helped... God Bless you yo... =)

You've probably already done this show now, but for next time- don't eat chocolate straight before singing! I've made that mistake.

- Always stand up when you're doing it
- Drink plenty of water, preferably lukewarm
- Don't drink milk before singing
- Practice doing scales, going up as high as you can without hurting yourself

That's about it.

Yeah, definitely! My singing coach gave me a warm up: you have to fill your TUMMY ONLY with air. Make sure your shoulders or chest don't move or get bigger. When you cannot breath anymore, breath your air out using a "tssss" sound. This will help you by giving you strength in your tummy and give you more air while belting out notes, especially high ones. :) After you've done the exercise enough times that it's good and you get the point, try the same thing but breath in, and this time, instead of exhaling with a "tsss" sound, exhale while belting out your note. good luck :)
May I ask what play it is?

before going on stage use voice warming up like trying to hit the note played on a piano. As musik_4_life already said it is very important to take big breaths, if you cannot hit the higher note it doesn't matter they can't tell you to sing it higher if your voice won't let you
