We are off book, we have costumes set (mostly), we have
lighting cues, and we have a much relieved bearded man. The musical is leagues ahead of where it was
last week. Once we started running full
Acts it really came together. Of course
there were some stumbles on props as well as entrances and exits, but those are
to be expected when running it for the first time.
We still have sound effects and more lighting cues to get
down but once that is set and the few un-memorized lines and dance steps (still
might be a bit on the dancing) are committed to memory; we’ll have ourselves a
show! ….And then I remembered the
orchestra. Oh dear god, the
orchestra. I have no idea how well this
is going to seamlessly slip into what we are doing (as I’ve never been involved
in a musical before), but my first instinct is Not Well.
I am confident it will all be worked out before our first
show, but with such a huge piece yet to be integrated, I have my
reservations.
