We got a late start this morning, and then I had to do all of Alet's material, as she had to leave at 1:30. I then went back to the beginning of the show, and began staging. The first number took a while, because there are a lot of components to it. Then we moved on and it just took forever to do, because the scenes in the show are very, very long, one of them a whopping nineteen pages. We almost made it to the end of the first act (my plan was to have finished blocking, but I saw right away that wouldn't be happening). Luckily, a long scene with Alet in act two and the finale of the show are done. And the ensemble stayed late and we finished the opening of act two, so that's good. So, tomorrow there's eight more pages of act one to do, and then most of act two, most of which is simple, but again, one mother of a long scene where there are six people on stage throughout. Everyone has agreed to stay until six tomorrow, so that will help - although, once again, I only have Alet until 1:30.
