Mostly still napping. But today I start to put the numbers together, beginning the work of assembling the final report which is part of the deal when you get a grant. Hardly onerous, especially considering the grant was what made this all possible. Thankful? You bet! At the moment I will admit to feeling like the musical is a million miles away, something that happened to someone else a long time ago. But I know that’s not reality, so I’ll keep working until the weather changes. In the meantime, a few snaps just for the heck of it. With thanks to Lori.
It's a reading. Meaning no set, no blocking. As several people pointed out--pretty much exactly like a radio play.
On your left--Jack did a lovely job of some of the funnier lines in the show, his talent expands to fill available space, a beautiful thing.
Moving to your right--Nabi could sing the phonebook and it would sound great, happily there was more plot in this material, if fewer characters.
I figure they put me in the middle so they could keep an eye on me.
Moving along to your right--Jay having a good time with some of the juicier lines, the man sparkles when he reads, can sing, too.
And on your far right--that'd be John playing the part of sweet reason, and holding down the bottom end, those charts were not easy and he delivered.
Having survived the run, four-fifths of the cast are asked to put on a funny face. I notice Nabi was the only one who had to do anything special.
And if you know the story you will find it amusing that Jack appeared to be lost when we were asked for a group shot.
