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!!!!
