MUSICAL BLISS!!!!!!

I. Love. MUSICAL PRACTICE!!!!!!!!!
Every day this week I'm having practice for the musical from 4:30 to 9:30. YAAAAAAAAAAAaAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So. Much. Fun!
Cause we get to play and listen/watch the acting people on stage.
Yesterday we ran through Act 1, no stopping, and it was one hour and seventeen minutes long!!!
By the way, more funny things happened. Such as-
  • Once more, shoes have been forgotten in the cow.
  • When they turn around the little house scene things in the beginning, Jack is supposed to be petting the cow, Milky White. But guess what? Milky White isn't even on the set. So Jack runs off to get her and the whole play starts without him.
  • When Milky White was supposed to die (Jack pushes it over to make it fall) all this dust and paint bits from the stage flew onto me. Not. Good.
  • In general, the person who plays the witch is a bit like Hale, so some of the movements are... well, interesting.
  • Dave. The pianist. Is, like, fifty years old, has round glasses that sit on the end of his nose, curly stick-out-at-back clown-looking hair, and the big belly. He cracks jokes that no one gets and seems to be a bit... insane, but is fun to be around. Like he has to make a 'gulp!' sound for the cow, and it's so hard not to laugh.
  • Random girl scouts came and went around and even stood on the stage. Uh huh, exactly where you should stand while, like, three characters have to sprint off that exit.

So, it's Musical Week. Performance times are on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, all around probably 7:00 pm... Although I doubt any of you want to see it... Still, though.
