Week # 7 in Toronto

We are now into week #7 in rehearsals here in Toronto and we are finally onto "Golden Mickeys"!!! Finally, something I will be performing in! The show is a movie award show theme, like the Golden Globes.

We worked on the opening number which is super cute. I play one of the 4 paparazzi characters who are taking pictures of the celebrities arriving at the show. It's a fun number!

We also worked on the Tarzan scene in which I will play a monkey. That includes some rope climbing and spinning; it's called Spanish Web. I do not have a strong stomach for spinning. My stomach does not like it at all! A few people said my face looked green when I would get down from the rope. And it is also difficult being the person on the bottom, who we call the setter. The setter is responsible for spinning the flyer. They have to whip the flyer around with the rope the whole time they are going through numerous poses. My partner is pretty tall, so my short arms had a hard time trying to figure out how to get the circle big enough for her, along with a million other things you have to think about while setting. But, by the third rehearsal I felt better about the entire Spanish Web situation. I didn't feel as nauseous and my partner and I had each done the whole web routine to the music! Yay :)

Tomorrow we rehearse the Beauty and the Beast scene. I am excited! I recently found out that in the script Beast transforms in the Prince at the end of the scene. At the end of that scene, Belle and the Prince meet centerstage as they kiss....
This should be interesting...

I wish I had pictures to post, but we are not permitted to take photos while we are in the rehearsal studios :(
