Yesterday, at RENT rehearsal, was the first time I actually curled up into a ball and rocked a little back and forth. This was on a student desk, so you can imagine how difficult that was. Practice was supposed to start at 10:00 am. At 11:30, we still only had 3 students and 5 adults. We have two weeks till the show. These children are going to be the death of me.
A few other kids trickled in, and the ones that were there were the ones we needed to do the most work with. But man. I really hope we pull this off. Because they are TALENTED. They are SO, SO talented. I love our Mimi's rendition of most of her songs more so than the Broadway version. There are just so many millions of pieces to put together and even among the five of us, I don't know if we're catching everything that might fall through the cracks.
Anyway.
I'm watching YouTube videos so I can learn enough tango to teach our Mark and Joanna to fake tango.
