I Don't See No Stinkin' Pirates!

Let the rehearsals begin! These pics are from this past Thursday evening's rehearsal. We actually had a short rehearsal on Wednesday evening, but because of starting late and the usual announcement stuff, we're lucky to have 30 to 35 minutes of actual rehearsing. But Thursday was the real thing - two full hours of working on some of the 18 or 19 songs that will be in the musical this June. I am so thrilled with how well everyone did. I'm sure, with most of the 50 cast members being repeats, the confidence level is much higher sooner than it has been in the past, but they're doing really well. It also helps that most of our "group songs" are familiar to more people. I planned it that way because I want us on stage sooner so we can spent more time on choreography than we've been able to do with the last two productions. This is going to be fun, but we've got a ton of work to do to get everything ready for that opening night in June. Now, if Donna and her costume group can just come up with 50 different fish outfits for the belly of the whale scene...
