Stage 7: To Thine Own Self Be True - applies to lyrics too!!!

So, if the characters ring true, is it because they stay true to themselves not only in dialogue and actions but in what they sing too? Absolutely!  A lyric must reflect the personality, style and type that has been established initially by the character. Book, Music & Lyrics must meld together and make perfect sense to the audience. The plot develops and the story line moves along through the actions of the characters, so what they say, do and sing are very important.

As luck would have it, the cast members for SAINTS the Musical are phenomenal. They sing, dance and act bringing the characters to life with amazing accuracy and authenticity. I never realized how much fun rehearsals could be until I watched William Evans, Lila Kane, Anne Colannino and Sandy Cerel being to life, before my very eyes, the characters in Don's book and our musical.

Time is growing short and before we know it our Workshop Production will be on the boards! We have only three performances: Friday, June 26th at 7:30 pm. Saturday, June 27th at 7:30pm and Sunday, June 28th at 5:00 pm. All performances will be at Saint Raphael's Academy in Pawtucket, RI which is the location for Don's book and, of course, our musical. The excitement is mounting with each and every rehearsal. The only missing element is YOU! Please come and see what these fantastically talented people have created. An evening of pure FUN is awaiting you!
