Notes for November 10th

November 10, 2013

EVERYONE	Step on lines. Someone has to be doing something all the time on stage – no pregnant pauses. Squirrel scene – more people left stage.  Everyone needs to be louder More expressions – walk differently Stay frozen – Continue even if you mess up lines Quiet backstage NO STRAIGHT LINES Show drags with people going over ladders Evan helping Blake off the ladder? How can we justify this? Listen to whomever is speaking Listen to Kadyn and react. Work on reactions to the most important room. The show drags as Ashlynn goes over the ladder. Opening was good. Ladders coming into factory – Ashlynn, Drew, Sunny and Maky climb blue ladder; riley, reese, evan and Ms. Gloop orange ladder; Charlie and Grandpa joe on the one that is going faster. React to the chocolate room. We need one oompa loompa to appear right stage. Ashlynn – go to her so that we do not have everyone bunched up left stage. Everyone is responsible for props.  Give the props to the stage managers.  React to Mrs. Gloop.Reese react bigger. The boat is always moving. After squirrel scene, with “fiery furnace” move more right stage.
Kadyn	Lovely girl – hit lovely Make sure the last of your sentences are as loud as the beginnings.
Jonah	Change he to Wonka when talking about the factory 50cents is a big deal.
Maky	Say there’s Willy Wonka first.
Reese	Salute – see you later
Oompa Loompas	Move benches out for the elevator just a little -6 inches on both sides Last song like a commercial. During the squirrel scene, be doing something at all times.  Do something other than sitting on ladders.
TV scene	Work on blocking – spread out
Boat scene	Work on it.
Blue berry scene	Work on heads coming up
Grandpa Joe and Charlie	Happier after finding out about the ticket. Make the rest of the lines happy. When Willy is coming out from the factory to greet you, sit on a bench on the left side of Maky – more in front of where they are. Cheat out when Kadyn talks about cacow beans.
Blake	More excited when you see the money. We need to feel the cold along with Blake. Let’s see you plan the trick and make it bigger.
Music	Several cues were missed – need louder actors – If actors are talking, lower music. Music lower at the beginning so we can hear the words Missed cue in chocolate room. Music was late going to the boat scene.
Riley	Watch choppiness  Where is the squirrel head?
Lights	We missed you -  We need to see Riley in the chocolate river.
Drew	Stand by Ashlynn In the squirrel scene, be creative and think of things to do so that there is not a lot of dead time.
Jonah, Blake, Sunny, Maki, Drew, Ashlynn	Straight line during chocolate river – fix it.
Jonah, Blake, and Drew –	all profiled and all in a line.
Squirrels look at this video	Squirrel Video for Kids w/ Fun Music
Sunny and Riley	exiting with the chocolate bar, go behind the TV.
To do	New dollars Paint rolling pin Paint big bowl Harp music for dancers at the beginning. Gorilla glue Harp music for shadow dancers Cue 5 longer Buy another short ladder. Cupcakes Cotton candy Batteries. Glue cloth on bottom of benches. Gas mask? Music longer on last television scene. Music before Charlie’s thank you
