Some REALLY Last Minute Choreography
I guess it could be worse. Tonight, the Smith family octet blocked the movements for “Whenever I’m With You.” With only three rehearsals to go (Sunday’s tech rehearsal is that alone… a day for tech… getting light and sound cues, rented costumes distributed and hoping they fit, etc. no run through Sunday), the routine is going to be fun… if IT KILLS ME and even easy… coming from a certifiable Redwood.. But it is a good thing we got it blocked because without the choreographer, we were just ambling around the stage looking lost. I think the choreographer has been at a total of 2 rehearsals (tonight being the second). But somehow, the other choreographed numbers are going really well and look good. The dance guru also commented on one of my many costumes. She was jealous and I told her that it would be hard to put away after the show’s run. We also saw a copy of another press release from Hicksville’s hometown newspaper. There is a website, but it has not been updated to include this week’s headlines. I’ll keep checking and post a link. I also realized once again tonight how much I LOVE to sing. Guess that is a good thing since I am in a musical?
