Last night was the first full rehearsal with the entire cast on the stage. Yow! The shows that I have directed in the past have always been smaller affairs (5-10 people), so this is my first time dealing with 20+ people at one time. We slowly picked our way through the “Prologue” and “Pirelli’s Miracle Elixir” discovering along the way that the script and the music don’t quite match up. Fun! But, I am the Dark God. My word is supreme. All will obey my will. Cast, designers, costumers and techies will all carry out my every whim.
And now, for no real reason other than laziness, a list:
1) Today is rampant consumerism day.
2) Bjork … “Medúlla” … utterly stunning.
3) Criterion’s release of “Videodrome” is so near my house I can taste it.
4) I heart The Cardigans.
5) Ummm. That is all.
