For some reason I'm very excited about my schools spring production of "The Wizard of Oz". I just thought that in this thread we could share some cool and interesting things with each other about our upcoming musicals.
- Our yellow brick road goes out through the audience. So we are dancing and singing out into the house.
- We hired a flying company, so that Glinda can fly in and off in her bubble, as well as the Wicked Witch(on her broom). Other characters are also flying like the wizard, and the flying monkeys.
- On our last sunday show, we are having a dress up conest for all who attend.
And you?

Posted: 4/8/06 at 11:05pmNot a musical, but this year the 8th Grade Drama was one that we wrote. It went up on Thursday and we got a really great response, so that was exciting.
"We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in it's flow, later is too late. Where is the song when it's been sung, the dance when it's been danced? It's only we humans who want to own the future too."

"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."

Posted: 4/9/06 at 2:26pmWe're doing Beauty and the Beast in late May, and at first I wasn't that excited because it's kind of just lame mainstream material, but now that rehearsals have started I'm excited because our whole cast is EXCELLENT, and it will be a really fun show.

Posted: 4/9/06 at 10:11pmWe have our musical the 20th, we started blocking the 1st, why is my director Such a procrastinator
#9re: Excited about your school musical?
Posted: 4/9/06 at 10:16pmThe musical adaption of Two Gents, makes me thing that we should stick to straight plays...or we totally need better mics.
#10re: Excited about your school musical?
Posted: 4/9/06 at 10:21pmGumbo2- I just finished doing Beauty and the Beast last month and I had an absolute blast!!!! It was so much fun and now I'm kind of sad that it's over. What part are you? I got to play a wolf. I wish that I could have had a part like an enchanted object or something, but I still had loads of fun. I also got to play the enchantress in the begining and our school hired a flying company so I could fly! It was so cool!

Posted: 4/9/06 at 10:33pmI also did "Beauty and the Beast" at my school las year. Our production, in my opinion, was ok. Just okay. We had a great set, with a huge castle stairway, we also had a very cool transformation scene. And our costumes were not that bad...but the show was horribly miscast.

Posted: 4/9/06 at 11:20pmAh when I was Dorothy in Wizard of Oz once our yellow brick road went into the audience, and we danced out in the house right before intermission. Very creative I thought, have fun with it!

#15re: Excited about your school musical?
Posted: 4/11/06 at 2:34pmthis isnt a SCHOOL musical... but i just finished with PARADE on Sunday. God what an absolutely amazing experience. My best friends from school were in it, too, but it was a community theatre show. I played Iola, and if any of you ever have the opportunity to be in it, have the best audition of your life. It's a show I will never ever forget.
some things are meant to be...

GypsyRoseLee- Jesus Christ Superstar is my favorite musical! If I lived in the DC area I would totally go. But alas I do not. Break a Leg though!
Only three weeks until Footloose opens at my school! It's so sad because it's my last show at my high school. 
I'm Vi Moore so I'm really excited to show everyone what I got!
"One day, is that enough for you, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that enough for you?

Posted: 4/12/06 at 8:36pmLas Vegas Academy did "Beauty and the Beast" too last year! it was a pretty good show! i was the prince in the beginning, one of Gaston's Hetchman, the corkscrew (did fuetes in Be Our Guest) so much fun, and a dancer at the end. i hated those costumes. the corkscrew hurt, but it was fun!

Posted: 4/14/06 at 10:50pmMy school's planning on doing Little Shop of Horrors next and my drama teacher told me I could be Seymour, so I'm very excited
"Let the little girl go, and that poor little dog? Dodo." That's my favorite line in the whole show (Wicked). My next favorite line is "Oh! It seems the artichoke is steamed."
