Last night we finished blocking Act I. The first half of the act we are constantly pretty much moving constantly, and then the last section of the act is mainly the four leads which gives us time to relax for a bit. Not only did we finish blocking but we got some much needed choreography review. I just have to say I am NOT a dancer anymore. I never was a great dancer, but I moved pretty well and could fake it, in the dance sense, but now, I can't remember anything we choreograph from rehearsal to rehearsal, and then most of the stuff I do remember is wrong.
My feet hurt today, my voice is a little rough, and I am just plain tired. As Troy pointed out in his blog Robin has done a wonderful job with the choreography, but she has to remember that I am in this show, fat people don't move that fast. LOL. But it is good exercise for me. Maybe I'll sweat off 20 pounds when we open. I feel sorry for whoever has to dance with me, because I am going to have to wring out my clothes between each number.
It's been a long time since I did a show with this much back story creation going on in rehearsals. I guess we did quite a bit in High Fidelity, but Kleptoboy wasn't as involved as Phil is in this show.
Well tomorrow night we run act I all the way through off book.....that is the scary part for me. I don't memorize well. Right now I am having a rough time with lyrics, I am mixing up songs, b ut hopefully I will see the light before we get to rehearsal tomorrow night.
Well Phil is off......

Thommy and I already decided some of the men will have to have multiple costume shirts and we'll do laundry weekly, so you won't have to sit in your own stink every night... :)
