Preview Notes - 2/21

All: I generally don’t take a lot of notes at Preview…from here on out the show is yours!

All: Solid opening sequence…invest it with meaning!

Dreamers: ‘There’s a girl I’…leave as the lights go down, not before

Dreamers: Late into position on ‘House Upon a Hill’…just a bit tighter please

Maya: The lights need to shift AT the song shift between moments under ‘House Upon a Hill’, not before…we don’t want the audience staring at people doing nothing

Olivia/Solomon/Clara: Dress the bed after you make it during the India transition…2nd Note.

Grace: Breathe, and slow down!

Costume: Safety pinning Grace’s apron?  Can this be a thing?

Maya: *This is a change: Don’t bring up the lights after ‘Are you my uncle Archibald’ until Maggie begins to exit

Levi: Look up during ‘For an old man knows…’ 2nd note

Levi: Enunciate.

Jackson: Much stronger with ‘Winter’s on the Wing’…nice!

Jackson: Slow down your dialogue…

Ella/Jackson: Rushed your pre-‘and you’ll be here to see it dialogue’ 2nd note.

Dreamers: You look bored during the storm…energize it!!!!!!!

Costume: I prefer Cassidy’s hair down when she’s in the bed.

Alexis: don’t come so far downstage during ‘Round Shouldered Man’…the mic’ll pick you up better a bit further upstage

Parker: gotta get those lines!


Act II

Quartet: you have the freedom to gesture…you don’t need to just stand and sing.  Find your drive.

Ella: do you know what the downbeats sound like for your jump/spins at the end of the solo dance sequence?  We should run this.

Levi: turn your lantern on.

Maggie: Not bad for a first run at the reprise…

Maddy: Pick up the vocal energy…

All: you can’t hang out in the voms during the acts or entryways…we can see your shadows (Liz, this means you!)

Jackson/Ella/Cassidy/Grace: you can stretch it out a bit more going into the Day garden…maybe explore each plant with the wheelchair

Great final moment, team…tearjerker!!!
