Rehearsal notes for May 27th and reminders!

First, reminders:
  • No bare feet. Please wear the shoes that you'll be using for the show, if possible.
  • Please wear appropriate rehearsal clothing.  
  • Turn in your playbill bios.
  • Sell tickets.
  • Sell more tickets.
  • Check the rehearsal schedule. It changed. Or did it??? You'll never know unless you check it.

Notes from Saturday the 24th and today, the 27th

Music- Master of the House
  • Slow motion after "my band of soaks..."
  • Freeze on "money"
  • Unfreeze after "...as good as yours"
  • Review the 2nd chorus
  • No one should just be standing/sitting there--EVERYONE should be doing something at all times
Music - Prologue
  • We need more space on the line. 4-5ft between convicts.
  • Also, Factory workers--we won't preset--we don't want shadows to be seen (of tables, benches, etc.)
Music - Lovely Ladies
  • You HAVE to snap your head and be sure to look at the guy's hand on "all it takes is money in your HAND"
Music - One Day More
  • Be brighter
  • It should be strong, but not choral--we want it more crisp than that
  • Continue to work on your individual parts, so it's strong when it comes together
Music- Overall
In all solo lines in ALL numbers: Make it loud and prominent!!


Blocking
This evening, the 27th, we blocked "Stars" and "The Well"/"The Bargain." Individual blocking notes were given. For those of you that weren't there, the rundown is as such: Javert sings on a bridge--very powerfully--about stars, and JVJ buys Cosette from the T's. He makes it rain francs.



Great job! See you all on Thursday!
Sell tickets.
Check the rehearsal schedule in the right rail>>
If you are called for the Wednesday rehearsal next week, please email Steph, so she knows you can/cannot be there!
