Talent

We had 118 people audition for Seussical- that is almost reaching the same number as we had for Beauty and the Beast, which was a record. To have the amount of talent available is such a privilege- and to winnow it down is a very tough job. I'll be spending today putting together the callback list and figuring out how to run the callback process with large amounts of people- its always a fun challenge.

Waiting...

I'm waiting for the start of Meet Me In St Louis at Pacific High School so I thought I'd write about waiting! Last night I saw Phantom of the Opera at Nerix High School, Wednesday I saw Sound of Music at Webster Groves and Monday and Tuesday I saw Les Mis at WHS.Waiting has also been what I'm doing for Seussical- waiting to start! It seems like it takes forever to get started on a show- you plan and plan and plan and then everything starts and doesn't stop even when you want it to. I'm envious of these other directors who have gotten to work on their shows already- I've seen a bunch of theatre in the past weeks and it makes me long for the start of my own rehearsal process!

This tiny camera...

Will play a crucial role in Seussical. A crucial SECRET role. We're calling it The Clover Cam.

Seuss in 3-D

One of the things we'll be using in Seussical is a bubble machine (actually 3!). We'll be using them during a song that is set underwater to give the audience a more interactive experience. That's only one thing we have planned... This show will be like nothing else you've seen!
