Props
o Robert: can you meet Cameron (Narrator) behind Cinderella’s house during the opening section to hand off the birds? That’s page 6 after his line “Cinderella’s stepmother had a surprise for her.” Then stay there to take the birds from him a few pages later. Awesome!
Spots
o You guys are doing great!
o We need to adjust the size of the spot so that each match. We’ll do this tonight. Remind me.
o Toby: You’re on the Narrator right after the curtain warmer.
Backstage
o You guys are doing well, and I know it’s going to come together with more practice! Here’s some things I noticed to improve…
o Grand Drape (make sure it opens all the way)
o Black fabric great! Can we get a little more for white cabinet off stage left?
o Work taking raunzel’s tower off sl with witch on it (took long)
o Jack’s house entrance start on “As for the lad” (it was late and in the wrong place. Use very down stage left portal to push on.)
o Cow Rope (page 54) – have to tie it on to the cow before Abby takes it on for the scene.
o The cow Box!! (forgot it)
o Cind House off pg. 104 right on “fit to attend a prince” (it was late)
o We need to spike the Up stage placement for Cind Mother’s Tree when it’s just sitting up there.
o Cinderella’s mother’s tree needs to be OFFstage for all of act 2
o Tree limb in act two. Take on at beginning of song instead of during second verse. Put more crew on that, instead of trees, and have some crew stay on with it to be able to take it off quickly as soon as the audience starts to clap at the end of the song.
Costumes
o It looked like cinderella’s slipper wasn’t as pure as gold in one scene. I assume there was a costume problem and that it’s fixed for tonight. If not, can you come talk to me? Thanks!
Lights
o The two things we didn’t talk about are on page 138. It looked like we had just the DSL area up at a weird time and no one was in it.
o Page 169. On Boom crunch!! I’m thinking we need some kind of dramatic light shift. It’s weird for her to finish that powerful of a song by just walking off stage. Thoughts?
Sound
o Laptop with sound cues loaded and ready to go. TEST each before show.
o Mic fixes for Rachel and Abby (witch and Baker’s Wife)
o Turn all leads volume down when the full cast enters to sing with them in the 4 big numbers
o I assume that as you go you are noting whether you turned mics on late, or early in each scene, correct? I know there were quite a few scenes tonight where the character’s mic came on during their second line.
o All the “squishes” need to be louder, as well as the rumblings. The footsteps are good. (but let’s do a volume test on each at around 5:30 so that we can make sure that with the laptop, things are still set well volume-wise.)
o Page 181 (song) When other characters join leads, turn down leads mics just a touch.
o Page 185. This is the biggest, loudest sound of all. The giant crashing to the ground. Short is fine (about 3 seconds long), but it has to happen right after Red’s line “She’s beginning to fall this way”
o Narrator’s mic needs to be on for page 83 coming straight out of the Second Midnight
o Page 93. That rumbling is super important here because the lines refer directly to “what was that noise”
o Narrator’s mic needs to be off the whole time during act 1 finale
Makeup:
o Witch age
o Alex’s beard. Did it slip down? It looked like we could see his entire real chin.
Sets:
o Tree Fabric (so not see through)
o And yes, let’s go a head and trim the thatched roof so that when it’s down it’s not hanging over the edges. Other than that, if you could be there at 5 just for any last minute things, that would be great!
