... how many words she can cram into her head before tomorrow.
I'm currently cast in a Broadway Cabaret at a local theatre, but as with most Professional gigs in the area that I live, there's not much time for rehearsal at all. Our curtain goes up on Friday night, which means that tomorrow is dress rehearsal... and it's only our second rehearsal. The very first was Monday night, and we were told our basic blocking and were given the opportunity to run through our songs once with the accompanist.
I've five or six numbers to do myself, and thankfully I've done two of them before, but the others still need memorization and I really need to get comfortable with the music. I don't think I'll have trouble with most of them, but let me tell you, Many a New Day from 'Oklahoma!' is not only difficult, but annoying as well. It is wordy, and jumps all over the place, and...
Okay, I'll stop complaining. I did know what I was getting myself into when I accepted the job, and hey, I am getting paid, so it makes the trouble worthwhile, right?
In any case, I'm looking forward to having dinner tonight at my parents' house. I've not seen the kids in a few days, and our parish priest is coming as well. It should be a fun evening!
