We have just had our first production meeting. These are very important to make sure everyone is on the same page with the style and direction of the show we are creating as well as organising everything and making sure everything is counted for. We were all assigned jobs such as lighting, costume, set and advertisement. I am part of the fundraising team, which we decided we needed after the discussion of mics and other things we want for our performance which we will only be able to afford if we do something to fund them. After this we went on to discuss the actual show, what the style and atmosphere was that we wanted to create, how we wanted the stage set out and the more creative side of things. We decided we want to extend the stage with extra, different leveled blocking as well as some platforms either side of the audience so that some things can happen down the hall. We discussed how we want the audience to actually be sitting and decided on more of an informal cabaret seating so that they are in a more relaxed environment and feel less like they are watching a show. For the tone of the show we have decided to basically stick to the original Broadway version, although without some scenes, but with some of our own influences so that you can tell it is a Revolution Arts piece.
