Kiss me Kate is going really well. Everybody knows just what to do, we are all mature and focused on our objectives during rehearsal and Mrs. Fletcher and Mrs. Burke somehow, some way keep the zoning out on the task at hand, the constant chatting, and all the conflicts that go against the schedule to the fullest of stability. Also, even though they both have specific guidelines to follow, they are very flexible on the time and overall, very fair and nice to the cast. If any bunch of you who have seen another production of this show, you all know that there is a lot of dancing incorporated into it. You should also know that there are a plethora of encores in some of the songs. My own opinion can be viewed as a short story: When I saw the Broadway revival on Youtube, one of the songs went on to about the 3rd encore and I just got so bored and actually a little annoyed I wanted it to move along, but it just kept going on and on about the same idea. I think I'm being hypocritical to myself because of what I said in my last post. It just depends on the genre I guess. This one is a classic Broadway feel with I'd say a folk Italian stringed into it and on the other ones I like it's all basically rhythm layered on top of rhythm and to me, that never gets old.
Anyway, while we were doing the opening number, I realize that my character has more dancing to handle than singing. It's really a shock to me why I got chosen for this character because I barely have any dance experience with other people and a lot of the moves I have to do look like they're tricky. But, with my keen memorization skills, I do believe I can manage. I also am looking forward to learning my own dancing part for Tom, Dick, or Harry. It's a whole solo choreography but I feel like I'm hanging on a ledge her because I want it to be appealing to look at, I just don't want it to be so challenging that I won't have the capability to do it. Good thing I won't have to worry about that because directors would usually give you a move to see what difficulty you're at. Overall, I'm looking forward to a great show (especially my first at the High School) and am hoping to befriend cast members, now and in future years!
