REHEARSALS ARE GOING STRONG
Well the show is really on the way.
The music is VERY challenging and the cast is working hard to keep up. Mrs. Bigler is a musical genius and with her help and direction the music will be incredible. We do try to have a bit of fun at rehearsals...but most of the time we have to work, Work, WORK!!! There is so much to learn and so little time.
The principle cast is rehearsing almost every night from 3:30 to about 6:30. There are sometimes three small groups rehearsing at a time. They just keep singing and singing. I think their schedule is basically sleep, school, rehearse, sleep, school, rehearse....maybe it would be easier if they moved into the school. Last week they were able to sing through all of Act 1---we are really making progress. But there is always more music to learn.
Yesterday the entire cast was working Mascarade....I just sat back and listened...and began to think......"this show is really going to happen." It almost doesn't seem real....but it is. There we were....all sitting in the choir room of Box Elder High School in little Brigham City, Utah singing the score from one of the most popular and beloved musicals of all time. And now it isn't just a "Broadway show"....it is OUR show!
Keep up the great work cast!!!!

BALLET GIRLS JOIN OUR CAST
We are thrilled to announce our new ballet cast members. They have already began working on the show with our fabulous choreographer Michelle Jackman of CYB. Miss Michelle is a trained American Ballet Theatre Teacher and a skilled performer. She has danced professionally for several companies across the country and we are happy to have her join the Phantom crew.
We are so lucky to have these talented dancers join our cast. Many of them have been dancing for most of their lives. They are trained and skilled performers and will definately add a level of professionalism to our production.
Thanks girls for working so hard and sacrificing to be our Ballet girls. :)

Call backs
Out of the 126 kids who auditioned we selected the list below come to call backs. We had call backs Saturday morning and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have so much talent at our school. Each person who sang was incredible. It was a pleasure to listen to everyone. As directors this means of course we are thrilled---because our show will be INCREDIBLE!!! There were so many magical moments at auditions where we heard and saw things we never imagined possible with high school students. This show will be unlike anything ever seen at Box Elder.
But now comes the difficulty.....there can only be one Christine, one Raul, one Phantom, one Meg, one Carlotta..........and we have a large group to choose from. And now we must select just one. This selection is not an easy task and we have to take so many things into consideration. Getting a cast list together is one of the hardest things I ever do....I guess that is why I went to school for 7 years to do this....I just wish my masters degree would have taught me how to help kids who are hurt because they don't recieve the part they were dreaming of.
To those of you who were here at call backs. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You are a group of very talented students and we are lucky to be able to work with you. Please remember that this is a tough decision and it is not just a matter of who is wrong for the part and who is right for it. In most cases there are several excellent candidates for each part.....which makes it even more difficult as a director. Now our job is to determine who is good,......better, and .......best for each role. Let me remind you it is like a puzzle and we are looking for a specific piece.....all of you are incredible pieces of the puzzle...now we just need to determine where each piece fits best. Where do each of you fit to make our entire picture the best it can be. We love each of you.
And thanks for a great morning....you were all fabulous. I never imagined I would ever direct this show, and when we were selected as one of the school to produce this show, I wondered if a high school could ever pull it off-----well I am here to say.....WE DEFINATELY HAVE THE TALENT!! Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

Auditions---Here we go!
In late July we were selected to be one of the few schools in the nation that is lucky enough to have rights for the premiere amature productions. And in fact we will be the first school in rocky mountain region. Putting on a production of this scale is never easy......but we are ready for the challenge.
On Thursday, we had auditions at Box Elder High School. As a production staff we had an incredible opportunity to be in the choir room from 3:30 to 9:30 and listen to over 100 students. We had so many fabulous auditioners and we are thrilled and excited. We were again reminded of how lucky we are to work at a school where there is soooooo much talent and such incredible kids.
We wanted to thank everyone who auditioned. This is definately going to be an incredible production and we are thrilled you want to be a part of it.
