📝Rehearsal Notes
Rosie, Sophia & Heewon- I like that you guys are creating business up there with the books but you can't LIKE the books. Belle is weird because she likes books, so maybe you all are looking at them trying to figure out what she sees in them.
Anna- Much better on " It's no wonder..." Now, finish the entire line, every single syllable, before looking away
Evlana- "But behind..." Great!
Villagers entering from the house- look at Gaston when you enter. He's singing. He's the most handsome thing you've ever seen.
Lefou- Bring the sack of game prop. It's under the prop table, left
Lefou & Gaston- open up!!
Narrators- you look bored in the forest
Babs- "Oh lala...." Louder!! Be excited! Surprised!! This is out of the ordinary! You've never walked into the room and seen a man there!
Beast- You have a "ROAR!!" in this scene. Put it in. The Beast is furious!!
Beast- When you enter this scene, stay to the right of seated Maurice.
Beast- take Papa off right
Gaston- When you enter down left don't wait for the girls, just GO confidently, leave the rest to them.
Gaston- Whatever line you say before crossing upstage, say the entire thing facing out, then turn to go up to propose.
Gaston- How do you feel when she turns you down and leaves you sitting there?
Silly Girls- Y'all rock! Make sure we can always see all of you, stay open. The last line of your song, "I want much more..." is your chance to chew the scenery! You're making fun of her for making a big deal out of everything. Your character is doing a giant, overblown imitation of Belle.
Ensemble & Gaston- Great job continuing with Gaston song even with some lyrics fumbled.
Athena- Make sure you've got all you entrances memorized.
Leads- the scene after the tavern, PLEASE LOOK AT YOUR BLOCKING FOR THIS SCENE. It's really messy and there's lots of wondering and awkward positions. I asked you Saturday to look at this blocking.
