Notes

Lights- get stained glass programmed into nuns entrance cue for next time

Lights- take stained glass out of Maria’s stair cue

Lights- slow down lights dimming on Maria cue

Nuns- Maria was MUCH better today!!! Please keep increasing your energy

Bethany- thank you for taking my over the shoulder note@

Katie- I can see you from one side of the audience but not the kitchen side. STAY OPEN please!!! I don’t want those people to miss out on seeing your great expression!

Katie- good job watching Maria- you made a good judgment call to exit. That’s fine too.

Lights- Blackout in between 2 and 3

Joseph- good stalling!

Seamus- polish the whistle on your jacket not your hand

Lights- put the center light into all cues that use the center section

Kristyn- don’t stress about pulling on her skirt

Juliana- and you’re gretl. NOD

Ignacio- try to stand up in time to say “far” while you’re facing us

Gen- you do a fantastic job staying open to us after your line “do re mi fa so and so on.” Make sure you’re open when you say that line, too!

Von Trapps- watch your timing when you’re in the xylophone. If One of you goofs up, get it back on rhythm.

Luke- I can’t see you in the final do-re-mi pose

Joseph- nice job with time for your exercise

Toni- enter before the children exit so you’re onstage and we’re not waiting on you. In fact, enter with Joseph if you’d like on SR

Toni- you are OWNING this scene. You put such feeling and understanding into it. Thank you! You’re bringing the rest of the cast up with the level of work you’re showing!

Lights- is there anything we can do with the LED’s in the top of the Sixteen to make it look more like night?

JJ- stay in your light. Don’t go so far SR

Amelia- stay open to us as much as possible to your left hwen you’re on the platform

Amelia- place your hand on the stairs or on your right leg so it’s easy for JJ to grab the second time. You should have to give it to him. IT should be a surprise.

JJ- I am seventeen going on 18 is where you come in at the end and not before

jj- swing to the right before you kiss her hand- we miss it

Amelia- great job climbing in the window. Don’t forget to freeze when she says your name the first time.

Bethany- take a moment to assess her clear lie and then come up with the question, “were you walking alone?”

Amelia- remember you were going to exit DS of the bed and out the SR wing to go to the bathroom?

Emma- don’t walk over to zac and grace until soon the duet will become a trio- you’re goinga  line too early

Amanda- lean with the other side of the folks in the town. It’s uneven otherwise

Sound- replicate goatherd track for the transition. What was the other one??!

Seamus- I saw you take out the whistle but there was no sound

Meredith- if he messes up your hair, that’s fine

Bethany- loved you looking down to take a moment before laying into him

Seamus- turn back to Maria VERY reluctantly. Slowly.

Seamus- I can see the terror in your eyes before you sing. Stay in character- you’re moved by their singing and it makes you join in

Kids- you DID IT. You made that moment what it needs to be

Bethany- throw the kerchief before the change music if you need. I don’t want you standing there strangely

Ignacio- good instinct to go before Seamus was ready! Talk to me about making this a permanent change in the event that this is not ready.

Bethany- talk to me about your foot in the landler

Gen- your lines with Maria- let’s pick a time for you to move in this scene

Seamus- great “no.”

Kids- SLOW. DOWN. ON. YOUR. SONGS.

Joseph- enter sooner after solong farewell

Great conversation!

Seamus- pick up on that convo with Max while all are exiting for dinner sooner. You don’t need to wait for everyone to be gone.

----------------

Lights into scene 8

Light- take giant circle out of 51

Bethany- if your wimple starts coming off early, you can fix it it

Nuns- if the windows are on, you must go at nun speed. You did a good job picking up on that as you hurried to exit J

Seamus and Franz- anticipate your entrances into scene 9

Max- WHAT are you saying here?

Seamus and Maria- we need to talk about where you enter in scene 9- it doesn’t make sense right now.

Lights- fix cue 56 kids on platform

Seamus- great job entering earlier into this scene. Own your entrance and enter quickly then PLANT YOUR FEET.

Seamus- your hand to her and then she accepts it.

NOD

Seamus- make a bigger deal out of asking her to marry you- pause first. You two- giggle as you exit

How to make that transition faster to 10- seamus and Bethany enter SL instead? Then they’ll all be in light? Sneak around the corner of the tower?

Seamus- THERE. IS. NO. AUSTRIA.

Seamus, Bethany- let’s talk about this scene.

UM WHAT HAPPENED?!?

Max- own walking off the platform

LIGHTS in Center at top of platform

Seamus- blow it off- smiles

Seamus- stop swaying!

Seamus “you may believe what you choose” was FANTASTIC

Seamus- don’t look so uncomfortable after you sing!!! Lights will go down.

Matthew- stop swaying! You’re in charge here!

Seamus- bring yourselves and the family onstage sooner so you’re not running onstage to sing

Meredith- look interested, please

Ignacio- stand in front of and between gen and luke during edelweiss

Leisl- stand next to luke during edelweiss

Seamus- you need to “stop singing” earlier

Meredith- love you grabbing your sisters

LISTEN TO THE MUSIC

Costumes- should the flower deliverers wear formal wear?

Max- make a big deal out of opening the envelope. Acknowledge that you’re taking forever

FLOWER GIRLS- ONE BOUQUET per winning act

Emily- guard the curtain by looking out at the audience

CJ- you need to lead the clapping during the festival

Max- faux panic not hilarity for “play something”

Idea for lights in this scene
