Music music music music.
There is so much music! And it is not easy. And this amazing cast is taking it everything that's thrown at them and running with it (thanks in no small part to the one and only Rich Silverstein.) They've now not only learned almost the entire score in two days, but they're taking the time to polish and refine on their own. (I know that's what actors are supposed to do, right, but this just goes above and beyond what I expected.) We had a little bit of group music review time at the end of the day and I have to say that they sound so good and strong and clean together already that it clears your sinuses!
In between all the music, we had a really phenomenal half hour of table work this afternoon. Joe led us through a discussion about the lives of their characters before the show - both what I had always pictured and what made sense to each actor. As we talked and questioned and guessed at possible answers, I started to get an even clearer picture of who these girls really are. Or at least clear enough that we've got two re-written scenes for tomorrow...
Tomorrow we've got more music on tap before our big read/sing-through on Saturday afternoon!
