Notes from Stephen

Notes Opening

Nice job everyone!! What a wonderful show! Seriously, I had a smile on face the whole time!

Since this was only the second time getting through the whole show in one shot, I’ve taken just a few notes to help clean things up. Don’t worry, I want take any more notes the rest of the run! J (unless someone dies or something) So just a few thing to make the show even better!

Actors

ALL:

o ALL: Act 1 opening-you have great volume on the “something in the glade there”. Have that same level of volume during the rest of the song!!

o ALL: Talking backstage—I’ve heard some reports; remember it can ruin the show.

o ALL: Words in act one finale!! Volume and enunciate

o ALL: Bows, start moving a little earlier (while the person in front of you is still bowing)

o ALL: Keep all costume pieces on (wigs, headpieces etc) when you go to meet kids.

Pigs:

o Nice work on your scene. Mitch can you hit Hayden with the sticks earlier? That section needs to go a little bit faster.

Woodcutter family:

o Excellent first cross on timing.

o And second cross looked good too! The happy reunion.

o “No one is alone” stand on “just remember” move on “Someone is one your side”

Bears/Goldilocks

o “No one is alone” stand on “just remember” move on “Someone is one your side”

Kelsey

o Kelsey/travis come downstage more when witch talks to you at the end of act 1

o Lindsey/casey/abby: wait on entrance into 48a. Let Kelsey get to center before you enter.

Travis

o Kelsey/travis come downstage more when witch talks to you at the end of act 1

Casey

o Nice work! Way to carry it for us.

o Watch the “smee” voice J

o “ill leave you to your task” cross Down stage to ‘exit’ (you’re in the dark currently)

o 23a Alex/casey come downstage. You’re in the dark.

o Don’t forget the line “I don’t like that woman”

o “moo” don’t ask for the laugh. You’re serious.

o Casey/abby nice work on “It takes two” I heard “ahhs” from the old married couples J

o Lindsey/casey/abby: wait on entrance into 48a. Let Kelsey get to center before you enter.

o Lindsey/Collin/casey/aimee: last midnight. When she throws beans, you can make a little noise (“oh no” etc.) while going to get them.

o Great job with the limb!! Let’s try it tonight rolling it out with Jack/Baker on it already. I think it will work

Abby

o Well done, abby. You nailed it!

o When you enter on page 54, w/ the cow, enter down stage right, instead of center stage right. And you can bring the cow a little further onstage.

o “wait! I need your shoes” chase Cinder almost all the way off SL then run after the cow.

o Casey/abby nice work on “It takes two” I heard “ahhs” from the old married couples J

o Lindsey/casey/abby: wait on entrance into 48a. Let Kelsey get to center before you enter.

Nathan

o Very nice work my friend. Especially when sick!

o When you stop in front of Cinderella’s Mother’s Tree (when on your horse), keep your feet galloping.

o Shorten pause on line “She… remains well.” Put the pause between she and remains, not before she.

Lindsey

o Good job again, Lindsey. Thank you for all your work!

o Lindsey/casey/abby: wait on entrance into 48a. Let Kelsey get to center before you enter.

o Lindsey/Collin/casey/aimee: last midnight. When she throws beans, you can make a little noise (“oh no” etc.) while going to get them.

o “No one is alone” stand on “just remember” move on “Someone is one your side”

o Lindsey/Collin/Aimee your pose during the end while casey tells story to baby-come more center. You were pretty far SL.

Step Family

o 1st midnight. There is plenty of room down stage right for you to be at the end. Use it! J

Alex

o Best work yet on “No more” Thank you.

o 23a Alex/casey come downstage. You’re in the dark.

Brooke

o Nice reaction to C in castle at the top of act 2

o During lament, move SL more just behind Kyla

o “life was so… and now this” (after lament), start that line earlier; just a few seconds after R finishes song.

Cameron

o Good curtain warmer,

o Find light in opening sections-sometimes speaking with face half in the dark.

o “cinderella’s stepmother” instead of “grandmother”

o Go ahead and make your reaction to the birds a little bigger. (I hate my job!)

o Your line “Meanwhile” in the opening section, wait for jack to exit with his cow before you say that. The laugh he gets covers your line.

o Beginning act 2, come out right after curtain warmer. We’re waiting on you, and your light will come up as soon as you enter.

Collin

o Excellent work on Giants in the sky.

o Take the cow more center down stage for “I guess” (you’re in between lights)

o Lindsey/Collin/Aimee your pose during the end while casey tells story to baby-come more center. You were pretty far SL.

Today's Timing

I know some of you are supporting Seussical today by attending the 3pm show. Just a reminder that there are two lanes closed on I-205 North and it will take longer to get across the bridge- don't visit too long after the show! Call Time is 6:00pm.
