Mike, Piero and Jen work through their blackout. Though Mike looks like he's working the hardest.
We began the rehearsal process in earnest today. And seriously we could not be more fortunate. It’s a seasoned cast, with a seasoned director, and an RO that’s filled with sure-fire hits. We started the process by watching a DVD of the current cast’s show on the cruise ship airplane. Which was great, because we all know most of the people in the cast and they’re doing many of the same scenes that are in our show.
Then we started going through the show scene by scene for blocking and notes. Our director Matt, could not be better to work with; he’s open to ideas and opinions but also knows when he wants something a specific way and can communicate that clearly. It’s the second time he’s directed a show I’ve been in, and he really gets the full picture of what the show needs and how to satisfy the creative drive of the actor.
The current cast manager onboard the cruise ship airplane put together a packet of information detailing everything we might need about the ports, the airplane, things to do and see, and places to eat. It’s amazing, we’ve never had anything like this when starting a new contract. It’s all shaping up to be an amazing five months.
