Very warm here, too.
I received an email from the director of THE FANTASTICKS today about 5:15 pm telling me that one cast member would be away from rehearsal tonight, and that the pianist would not be in until 8.....we will just work on a couple of dances....bring my CD player and music.
Which would have been fine, except I have choreographed from the score and hadn't really worked with the movement AND the music together....
So....I cleaned up NEVER SAY NO and took it in. I didn't feel good NOT being prepared....I hate that.
But we did get it staged. Of course everyone else was there watching and giving suggestions, since they hadn't been informed that the rehearsal was....not as scheduled....which isn't quite right...since we don't have a rehearsal schedule anyway.
So we started the ACT TWO run thru at 8:20. El Gallo has decided that he needs to give everyone directions, sing along with ALL the songs, and conduct the score, too.
So Henry and I finally climbed out of the box and took Matt away. But when we got to ROUND AND ROUND, El Gallo said...."Do we have to do this song? I don't know it....let's just skip it." And the director said "Okay".....which of course means that Henry and I were cut out of the rest of the evening.....
Oh, and it was hot!
