We are now a month into rehearsals and we have made a lot of progress. The harmonies sound amazing, the dancing is ridiculously fun and the cast is really coming together. Rehearsals are teeming with positive energy (once we shake off the morning sleepiness!) and it's all coming up carrots.
Last week we had our first real jam sesh, figuring out the raps for the song SHAKE IT UP. We brought in the extended park ensemble to rehearsal for the first time and it was very exciting to have over 20 people singing together.
Today we did the choreography for LET'S ALL FLEE TO BC. The cast is drunk in this scene, and it's great fun. Just wait until you see what their props are. Haha.
Workshopping the show is a challenging and fun process, as we tweak harmonies and rewrite lines here and there to make the syllables fit. I try hard not to take it personally when someone in the cast says "Janice, there are too many words in this line." Ok, yes, you're right, cut those words. Sigh. Haha.
Coming up this month, more rehearsals, potential photoshoots, a teaser poster campaign ("I'm excited. Aren't you excited?"), teaser performances, and ticket sales! Whoa time moves fast! ("No time no time no time no time no time~!")
I also think I want to youtube a video of one of our dances, because we need to share this joy now. It helps that they are a very good looking bunch.
In the name of the Radish,
Janice.
p.s. Props to my roommate Ciaran for the excellent joke.
