Rent

This week is the week before the show so we have been running all of the numbers and picking out things that we need to work on. I think most of the numbers are looking good and we are nearly ready we just need to work on the transitions and lighting etc. We have not yet created the set which we need to do as we have some good plans to transform the stage into the loft and such.

I am excited about this performance as it is a show everyone knows and I think we have all enjoyed creating it together, so performing it should be fun too. With a bit more rehearsal and finalising of things I think it will be a entertaining and professional shorter version of Rent.

We spent the first two lessons this week running through the whole of the show, missing out the small things that we haven't done yet. As a first run it went quite well and we have less to do than I had previously imagined. Our main thing to work on is learning lines ad rehearsing with the backing tracks to make sure we are completely confident with them, which will make everything much more polished as well.

Notes: we need to go over and perfect La Vie Boheme, Seasons of Love B needs lyrics learnt and we need to work on the staging, Happy New Year B we need to work on the timing

We then worked on separate numbers again so Tom and I carried on with Light my Candle. I think we still need to work on the storytelling behind it as not enough happens at the minute. We have been getting used to the backing track and it is sounding better, we just need to keep practicing so we get the timing.

This has been our first week back since Christmas. We worked on Today for you as we needed to work on what the content of it as it is supposed to be high energy and packed with movement and some comedic parts. I think Dan is really good at playing this part because he is very over the top and thankfully very good at walking and dancing in heels so makes the routine look very good. This week we also worked on some of the other scenes we have done previously, like La Vie Boheme and Rent, which went well although some of it was a bit rusty so we may need to rehearse them again. Overall I think it is going very well and we are getting through the show well.
