Bill Underwood has amazed me everyday this week. He is my music director and he works so well with the vocalists. He knows what he wants and how to get it too. Truly a gifted musician!
Matt staged the opening of Act 2 and "Hardwater Sailors" today and I have to admit that he took "Sailors" in a direction that I did not see in the number and it is brilliant! I feel so in sync with both Matt and Bill that it makes it so much fun to be working with them.
I will need more tissue at rehearsal because Brandon, Cory and Peter make tears flow with how beautifully they deliver their songs. We staged "Questions" and "When I Look At You (Reprise)" today and Cory and Peter are just so powerful. *note to self - set up a kleenex concession at the performances, lol!
Tomorrow we should just about finish blocking the show. I had a funny comment from one of the actors today that I will share with you. He asked, "Are we going to have any movement in the opening number, because you just have us standing around singing?" We Matt was called away for another engagement for our first day of rehearsals so I got the number staged and Matt will make it look like $40! (Well probably a million but tickets are only $40!)
