Little shop of horrors: Day 14

Today, our teacher took Meg, Dan and myself out into the dance studio to practice our scenes in act 2. This included running the whole act 2 from the end of The Meek Shall Inherit to the finale song. I felt doing this was very helpful as we hadn't really looked at the ending and it was an area that needed working on. The most difficult part I found was actually running on stage and trying to pull Meg from the plant and getting her onto the floor and being allowing her to still be facing the audience. We worked on this in our frees the next day, we decided it would be easier if she becomes a dead weight in my hands and allow me to position her so her head rests on my shoulder and back on my knees, as I crouch. This also makes it easier for me to scoop her up and put her in the plant when she dies.

Once we had run this a couple of times we rejoined the others who were singing all musical numbers in the performance. Before running the whole of act 2 together. I think this went rather well, although it was a lot shorter than I realised. For me, the main problem was Closed for Renovation, the pace got the better of me again, which was why I decided we should practice it in our frees the next day also. It is, however, the song I find most difficult. But apart from that, I felt that the rest of act 2 was good and will get better with practice.
