Can't sleep, wizard will eat me!
Jan. 8th, 2007 12:49 pmIt is the time of many, many rehearsals. There's a new girl in the kids' chorus, which means I'm not the ONLY Munchkin who doesn't really know the dances. And, y'know, that I have a dancing partner for the pairs stuff. At least the Munchkin scenes are pretty simple "Gawk at Dorothy and then dance" things. :p The chorus spends a lot of this show gawking at Dorothy in one form or other. :P
We found out some stuff about the set design. It sounds like it should be pretty cool, even if it does have the steppy steps from Copa, which we seem to recall having wheel locking issues. As long as we never have to use the lockers from Footloose again, we will be happy though. :p
We watched a really cool episode of Cold Case last night because the tv lied to us. :p They were investigating a murder at a theatre that was performing Cabaret, so the cops kept periodically singing "Cabaret" and other songs from the show were periodically woven it. It was actually pretty neat, since they used them to comment on the events, just like they do in Cabaret.
This led to poor Sammy pointing out that the version they couldn't be doing the version they seemed to be doing. We initially thought they must have been performing the 1988 version, since it included "Mein Herr", which was written for the movie and then worked into the revival. But then they showed one of the suspects singing "Maybe This Time", which was again written for the movie, but not included in the 1988 revival. It WAS included in the 1998 version of the stage show, but the rights to that aren't available (WIndsor Theatre apparently really wanted to do that version :p)
We definitely suspect they did this episode because movie!Joanne from Rent is on the cast. One of the other characters doesn't like musicals, so there was the brilliant moment of "Joanne" asking "What do you have against musicals?" We died laughing. Oh, lines that are ONLY funny because of who the actor is. :p
