We are in good shape folks. While today's show was not perfect, it was very well acted and sung. The sets look great, as do the costumes. So overall, we have a lovely theatrical picture. We are tweaking the lighting tomorrow so it will look even better. I think we really have a hit on our hands! So sell those tickets!
For tomorrow: We will settle in at 3:30pm We will run all the narrator scenes We will run the fight scene between Gaston and Beast We will run Guest, Gaston and Human Again If time permits, we will run Belle - - but that number is looking great. Notes from Today: All: Open up more to the audience, especially the leads and slow down lines, diction Narrators: Be more expressive, elongate lines, be more dramatic, pretend you are telling a story to a small child Wolves: Mr. Goins will be there on Thursday and Friday shows. He may be entering from the audience. I am sorry that we don't have wolf hats for everyone, but if you have a black cap or ski hat, bring those in. D'Arque/Vershawn: Use the white belt. It is taped to the wall on stage right where you enter. Be creepier. Gaston: If you have a pocket, put the money sachel in your pocket at the start of the show. Mugs: I fixed 1 mug and made 2 others tonight. Wig People: You need skull caps and then you need to bobbie-pin your wig to your head. We will help you do this. Beast: Less volume when angry. And remember to change into your one-piece wig after the Beauty and the Beast scene. Let's do that as a rehearsal tomorrow. Beast: When Belle tries to say goodbye to her father after she trades places, stop her with a growl and by blocking her. Don't touch her, but frighten her. Score cards: We will make those 10.0, 9.5 and 10,0 signs for the Gaston spitting part of Gaston Gaston Song: Figure out when we stop clanging mugs Mob Song: Very end needs a tweak or two, but looks great. We could use a few more branches or brooms held up high! Beast: Have a tray when walking on before the line "Act like a Gentleman" This should be set stage right for you. Julia Shovan, please assist with this. Crew: Rose table more upstage, we will mark it once we find the best position. I think this is the only time it will come on stage Crew: Lose the fireplace log after the first time we use the fireplace Crew: Flash lights during all the wolf scenes, end of Mob Scene and part of the battle Beast: no cape for Beauty and the Beast song. I think you only wear the cape for the first 3 scenes. ALL: No sneaking onto stage. All cellphones OFF as it interferes with microphones. Cleaner curtain call. Bring water bottle with your name on it. And a big thank you to all the parents who have helped us to include Ms. Erle, Mr. Vince, Ms. Edgevich, Ms. Carol, Mr. John, Ms. Sonya and many others. Looking forward to tomorrow. Wear your Beauty shirts!!! Best, Mr. Todd
