All righty.
Real short, real quick, updation entry.
I have hit Hell Week for Seussical, and even though I only've had one night so far, I am exhausted. Between midterms week, and the USDAN audition, and hell week, I am just WIPED. Everyone I come in contact with is like "Whoa, you're tired!" Last night I could barely stand up straight.
Speaking of last night, it was semi-brutal. I have this horrible fear that the show is not going to come together on time... but that never happens, does it? I can see a little improvement, but we're running out of time. People are getting testy, moods are smacking everyone in the face, everyone is SCREAMING. But hopefully we'll get it together. Right? Right. I think we will. I have been really dissapointed in the lack of enthusiasm and hard work in the case of the ensemble recently. The thing is, it could be such an incredible show. All of the leads are spot on, best group we've ever had, I think. But the ensemble work is SUCKING. SUCK.ING. I don't understand why some people are here. They clearly don't want to be.
And now, for a bit of HOOMER in an otherwise dreary entry:
Sunday night, we got our ending number choreographed and learned. Tis fabulous. Dan O'C made it and taught it to us. And I developed this theory that if Dan O'C were to direct us on more, we would get a hell of a lot done. Because up until this rehearsal process, we were all fucking TERRIFIED of him. Know why? Because every time he saw one of us he looked like he wanted to tear us a new ass hole.
That's why.
He's brilliant, though. Really.
I should get going. Blah.
