"'Donna Lynne is the conductor in disguise.' Was that being sarcastic or is that really the case? How does that work? "
It is really the case, in some instances, when the cast is facing her she will give the musical cues with her arms, most of time though she keeps them together with an in character "sniffing". She doesn't do it constantly, and mostly it seems as if her Asylum character is just trying to keep order, but she is the "conductor in disguise."
ShuQ- She is always giving signals to the rest of the cast, stomping her foot, etc.
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
-Into the Fire
