Little Shop of Horrors

Today's lesson began with us watching a channel 4 documentary on the business side of west end theatres to help us grasp the financial aspects of the theatre. I found this very interesting and it made me realise how much pressure there is on producers and directions to succeed and how much of a high risk profession show business is. There is so much money involved and losses can be made extremely quickly, resulting in shows closing without much notice time. It certainly opened my eyes to how much money and pressure is involved in the west end.

From here we started another warm up session as we will be at the start of every lesson.

Next we sang through ya never know  to recap yesterday's lesson before moving on to singing "da doo" with the vocals and then backing track. I often found myself speaking to quickly or at least, starting my lines to quickly so I worked on slowing it down to allow it to, perhaps flow more smoothly into the chorus lines. Next we performed the piece before performing "the meek shall inherit" which I think went well personally, I used my script but felt confident that I didn't really need it and was more acknowledging the words on my paper than following them.
