Hello Dolly

i'm not 100% positive on this, (our director is taking a long time to decide this year...) but i think our spring musical is going to be hello dolly. i don't really know much of anything about the play yet, but has anyone else done it before? if so, any tips?? thanks!

you still havent decided on a spring musical??
 
Holy beep(instead of four letter words), We are 4 weeks into rehersals for our spring play in March
 
weve been rehearsing since december.
 
i know isn't it horrible?!?! last year she knew the first day of school...we did Children of Eden. i don't know why she's waiting so long this year it's really bad. we'll pull through somehow though, we always do haha. what are you guys doing?

unfortunetly were doing "Seussical the Musical'
 
mmm Hello Dolly is a good one. It being my first musical, i myself enjoy it. I'm sure you'll have "put on your sunday clothes" stuck in your head for quite some time. seeing as i did that show forever ago and even thinking about it brings the song to my head! Also, its probably taking your director so long to choose a musical cause she knows she cant top Children of Eden :D . well...maybe not, but it is certainly an excellent show!

I wish you much luck with whatever show you do end up doing!
 
thanks! yeah songs get stuck in my head real quick - i did annie over the summer and was constantly singing those songs haha

yep, i finally sat done with my sm and i wrote down act 1 cues, hopefully we'll start focusing this week.
 
Ya, our actors just started rehersing for our spring show. The director wont bother giving me a script until about 2 weeks before the show and then I only have the last week of rehersals to do everything (doing tech before the last week interupts the actors and hinders their preformance!).

Sorry I cant be more help, I have never done that play :-/
 
that's ok - i know what u mean about doing everything with such short notice, i don't like it either! but somehow everything always works out...we're usually there until after 11 every night though...haha

Yep, I have pulled many 18 hour days at school (getting there arround 7 and not leaving until after midnight) working those plays. Everything always works out, but i am left with the feeling of "what more could I have done to make it better if I had more time." I guess it is kinda a good thing that she doenst give us a ton of time too, b/c I wouldnt get any schoolwork done at all!
