11/14 notes
Caleb prayer shawl is too high
Move Zoey
Eran and Corbin have to listen to that horse mule part that tevye does more so that you have a reason to start arguing.
Little girls I need you to run in with the potatoes and tell us about yenta being down the road.
Izzy keep working on making dinner?
Tyce be way further on stage so that you are in the light light when you first start speaking, from the first wing
Chloe You got to practice with all of the food props these lines.
Izzy I know you're sick, but we've still got to have some funny and energy behind what you do
Gideon talk to me about your knees after coming down
Gideon don't do the turkey do more geese
When you put the bucket on your head you have to move out from behind the milk jug or we won't see you
Everybody should crowd around to try to see the news on the paper. Be interested in it
Why do you guys hide behind the cart? Just bring it further downstage
Easton you have to motivate why you exit and why you come back
The scene change going into the table took way too long. It has to start coming out the second that those lights are out
When golde comes in people need to move and Izzy come downstage.
Golde, make another blessing nicer.
Tevye and Golde. I need you guys to be exiting during those last couple of lines so that we don't have so much time between you exiting and them starting to speak
Tyce why didn't you knock over the glasses
Nixon ground voice
Noah tighten up your pauses.
Russians practice your dance. It was messy
I need more ad-lib during the dance breaks.
And Gideon you did the drunk chicken move again
Ethan jump line that's what I like about you.
Skyler, when Izzy comes out you got to really start like churning that butter because she caught you not working
Kaleb, you came off mean on that little intelligence line again. Go back to what we did with it before.. Has to be flirty
Kaleb break up the women in the kitchen boys line, they are separate thoughts
You guys have both got to realize that you're holding hands at the end of that dance and it's a big deal
Why can't you remember your daughter's name? Is it because you're hungover? If it is, we've got to fix your delivery
Tyce jump that line. Please don't shout at me and times are changing.
Gideon, make sure I see you making that decision after the frozen part to break them out of the freeze
Izzy, let's talk about your hair in the bed scene
We need to practice Courtney on the bed many times before tomorrow
Izzy and Gideon, I need way more physical trembling from you in the bed when Hannah is singing
What do we need to do to help the bed not fall off? If you guys pull it by the wood at the bottom would that make it easier instead of by the head and footboard?
We need to work the thing that starts off with fresh bagels. Because this is taking us way too long to get through this information
I never want to see white socks on this stage ever.
When the two wedding chairs are put down before they have Aubrey and tyce lifted up inside of them, we need them to be a little further apart so that the four people on each chair can get up and lift them
Sam practice putting that cup in there.
Sam give the line about sitting down to Gideon so that he says I know I know
Ensemble you need to hear what Gideon says when he says he's going to dance with his wife and have a reaction to that
Fix the fight
People that leave during the wedding don't leave until the Russians come up and scare you off
In to life, the tables need to come out before the chairs
Please don't leave the dressing rooms, makeup rooms, or little theatre a mess. I still have to teach in there
Please don't have food in your pockets or anywhere onstage or backstage.
Russians make sure you don't have prayer shawls on with your Russian costumes.
11/15 notes
Get in when you walk in on that and say good evening. It doesn't need to be mean. It needs to be a oh hey what's going on here? Kind of jokey
All hats need to be tipped back so that I can see your faces
Gideon, I felt like you escalated to anger a little too quickly with Taylor and kaleb. Still keep his jokey part and then build into that anger
On that rich Uncle part Gideon, I need you to make it fun and a little funnier and very much more hopeful
Chloe a beat after. Would I make it up before you go on with the conversation?
Taylor and Gideon, you pulled out of your hug too fast.
Girls, don't pull each other across the stage.
(T) Shirt should be wrapped up in paper and string that we give to Luke
Rabbi, I need you to start walking into that scene for when they say the rabbi the rabbi so you are there right away
Gideon, I don't think you should say that man like it tastes bad. It needs to be more dangerous than disgusting
Gideon,
How to pick Claire up and I need you to
do it on the now. Pick her up throw over your shoulder. Let's go home
I need you to be more surprised on the fact that they were married Gideon
Little Chava, exit on stage left by sister
Luke and Skyler, let's talk about what you do during tevye's monologue
I also want to do your hold as you are surrounded
No watches or earrings
(T) Do we have yamaka's for the little boys?
Aubrey make sure that we give that baby a little bit of like rocking it so that we know it's alive
Eran why were you so late coming into the scene before anatevka?
Ethan Make sure the order is right side up
The scene before anatevka you guys are taking entirely too long to start talking. You guys have got to get together and run through this several times
Eran, where is your beard?
Easton you have to really project that line after Anatevka so we know where to look
After anatevka we need tevia's family to leave first and we need everyone to be out of the way for the cart to come in
(T) Fix top of Eve's last dress. It's falling off her shoulders.
Even Claire when you do. They were going on a train and a boat. Can you guys grab each other's hands and swing around with each other
Don't have your buddies upside down
Musical number run
Good voice Sam. We really like that.
Sons you are the cutest. Good job.
It's going to go Ethan the Constable and then Randy with the priest and then all of the techie Russians as you walk across the stage.
(T) Still need to fix Skyler's apron
We need to pin in all of our hair scarves. And daughters. If you can have a little curl in your hair or waves that would be nice
Skylar, I need you to project a little bit more when you're singing
Remember that all scene changes when you sit down. Furniture has to be really quiet
Gideon during Sabbath prayer, can you have a look to both sides at your family so that I see your face as you're singing
The people who are bringing out the extra candles I need them to be lit or you to pretend to light them from somebody else's. We can't just turn them and have them lite on stage.
What happened to Sabbath prayer? At the end? It's like you guys forgot to listen to each other.
Remember no white socks
You have to remember all the things you have to take off stage. Your scene changes are more important than almost anything else.
Heads make sure you pop in and pop out on those mazeltovs. And try not to let us see your bodies.
Really shake those heads during the beginning of that fruma Sarah part
Hannah, what's your addiction on the dream. I'm having a hard time understanding you
People that bring out the candle boards. How come you looked so frenetic and crazy?
Boys gentlemen in sunrise sunset. Make sure you spread over just a little bit further so that we connect Brody and Matt and the two little boys
Bottle dancers can you be wearing your prayer shelves? It's really weird if you don't
Noah, where is your black jacket?
And remember bottle dancers. Keep your chin way down. We love how Avery does it.
Boys, I need you during the bottle dance to spread way out and use the extremes. Like the girls do. Because you're going to block off half of the audience from seeing the bottle dance. It doesn't really matter if you can't see it. It matters if the audience can't, you can just pretend that you can see it
Someone needs to get the little boys candles when we collect all of the rest of the candles after sunrise sunset
I wish I had more talking during the partner dance at the wedding.
We have to throw that table over way more gently.
They say that the music started too early in the rumor before Ava sings.
Katie's notes:
Tradition- diction. Sing with more pride. Let it show in your face so it connects with voice. long notes go somewhere
Matchmaker-exaggerate diction. Skyler project more. Let’s work harmonies at the end. Last word end with tch
If I were a rich man- diction. stay with music. The boi boi boi let’s work through. Was a little pitchy
Sabbath prayer- exaggerated diction. Project so much more. Fade gradually on last note at end of song
To life- diction. Project. With on timing on the three endings.
When everyone comes in, Don’t drag.
Miracle of miracles- use the excitement to get the top notes more spoken and comfortable
The dream- I don’t understand words when heads comes in.
Who who who sustain needs to grow so much more. Needs more noises for howls and cries, cackles etc
Sunrise sunset-
Men review harmonies
Diction end with anda tears
Don’t drag
Rumor- trust that you know your entrances. Easton more spoken on the last few words of your part.
