Thank you all for your good work tonight! Photo call went incredibly smoothly, and the pickup was a good pickup. If all y'all take your notes, and focus your not-inconsiderable energy toward repeating the things that work and fix the things that don't, you'll do all of us very proud. Keep it up!
That said, here's the few notes I took:
All - PROJECT! ENERGY!
All - Don’t just move from moment to moment…justify! What are you trying to achieve, what’s at stake if you do/don’t get it, what’s standing in your way, how are you getting around those obstacles?
Johnathan - Keep the D'Ysquiths all physically distinct
Backstage - TOO MUCH NOISE…silence everything past the curtains.
All - SCALE! The only way the audience gets that this is a satire is if you take everything up to 11!
Entourage - Look at your harmonies…and leave more gaps between each other in the circles
Johnathan - No conducting!
Rivkah - Make sure to enter from Up Left on the ‘Last One You’d Expect’ trio
Rivkah - Hear and respond to the things he says about you in ‘Sibella’, both for good and ill
Changeover - Missed the runner on the Dinner Table
Nico - Get into the light during the ‘Poison’ reprise
Guests - React to Lord Adalbert’s song…is this normal??!!
Nico - Really contemplate your fate in front of the Inspector
Backstage - I COULD HEAR NO FEWER THAN THREE CONVERSATIONS UNDER ‘STOP, WAIT, WHAT?’…QUIET!!!
Backstage - Who’s shoes were squeaking so loudly I could hear them walk from backstage to the pit??!!
Much respect, all...keep it getting better every time!
