Tuesday Notes

Valeria- watch your spacing once you hit the stage in the Preludium

Nuns- the preludium sounds great. Keep practicing!

YOUR MICS ARE LIVE STOP TALKING

Crew- Check your Pre-show setup

Maria-Your skipping is so cute. Let’s come up with other fun stuff you can do!

Maria- exit stage right after SOM.

Madison- look at your lyrics!

Logan- you speed up at one point that you don’t need to in Maria.

Grace and Valeria- I love your whispering in the corner. Grace- stay open to us!

Kaitlyn, Madison, and Logan- make this song BIG. Go over the top and I’ll bring you back.

Maria- Schnitzel is food. Touch your tummy.

You NAILED Favorite Things. DO IT AGAIN!

Katie: “Leave US.”

Maria: “I know what you expect.” Try saying it like you’re terribly hurt that she doesn’t think you know. Come find me if you’re not sure about what I mean.

Katie S.- Mother Abbess needs props on her desk. Come ask me about them. Austrian flag,

Suitcase needs some TLC.

Seamus- you’re flinging that suitcase around when you meet Maria and I will not look at the ugly end of it.  Please hold still or put it down sooner.

Seamus- playing with the whistle while telling Maria what her duties are is so effective. Keep it up!

Seamus- Don’t blow off “you are in command.” Instead, perhaps try showing your skepticism that she can handle it. Make sure you are on that platform before she blows the whistle. I can’t see either of you when Maria walks back to hand you the whistle as long as you’re standing on the floor behind the kids.

Kurt- where are your shoes?

Marta- don’t leave your spot to pull on her skirt just innocently address her from your spot.

Kurt-stay open

Maria- When you introduce yourself to the Captain, take your hat off.

Juliana- when you guys sit down at Maria’s feet and each person does a motion, you have to do a “deer” motion. Ask Kristyn what it was.

Von Trapps- Don’t be afraid to own your “note.” Mic volume isn’t your job. SING IT!

Juliana- Don’t forget to sing “do!” It’s your note!

Meredith- let’s simplify your sewing motion. Show me what you come up with.

VON TRAPPS YOU’RE TOO FAST. Most of Do-Re-Mi was ahead of the music.

Franz- Don’t put your back to us when you take the children to play.

We have to paint the stairs. Amelia blends in with it.

JJ and Amelia- I need you to practice singing that song entirely together three times before our run tomorrow.

Kurt- No backs to me in the goatherd scene

SR girls- preset the “unfolded” quilts so that you can use four people to walk them out and onto the platform. You’ll also have two big comforters so it won’t need to be so precise
