Not sure who said it nor whether or not I'm quoting it correctly but - 'If you hire the right cast then half your work is done for you!" We have hired the right cast!! I have never worked with a more giving, hard working and truly beautiful group of talented professionals.
The rehearsals can be long and tiring but everyone of us looks forward to them. The cast has made the show better every time we get together. The script is tighter, the songs are enhanced with nuances only truly gifted performers could bring to them, the dance by William Evans and Sandy Boyer is so thrilling and exciting and the accompaniment by Lila Kane is flawless.
Being a new work no one really knew what to expect. Our Co-Directors, Anne Colannino and Sandy Cerel, have dedicated hours upon hours of preparation to make sure that rehearsals go smoothly and as quickly as possible for all involved. Cast members are on time and ready to work with an attitude that 'this is really fun!'
Once in a great while magic happens onstage and if our rehearsals are any indication of that then we have cornered the MAGIC Market!
I know, I know....you're thinking of course he's going to say good things about the show...after all he wrote it....but let me tell you I didn't know just how amazing it could become until the rehearsal process began. Sometimes, if you're lucky, a cast comes together and becomes a family. We are a family. Everyone doing their part to make things be the best that they can be, sharing ideas and talents, helping one another with intricate and difficult dance routines, making the whole process be fun. Yes, rehearsing can be fun! Who knew?
Please come see our show. You'll be treated to an evening of joyous entertainment and before you leave us you'll be part of our family too!
