The end of week two. We're roughly half way through our time in the rehearsal room, so it's time to take stock. At the moment it's very hard to get any perspective on where we are with the play as a whole. There are so many different technical elements to the piece, with so much music and dancing and so on, that it takes a long time until things are ready to be run together. Nevertheless, some individual sections feel well on the way, and I feel fairly confident about getting all the music learned in time - we'll largely be playing without sheet music. I think when we do start stringing the material together, we'll be pleasantly surprised by just how much we have under our belts already.
I had my first costume fitting this morning. It's always a real privilege having clothes made for you, and fascinating to see the garments in various stages of development, being refined slightly according to their fit or to the designer's taste. Some of the clothes are hired or bought, but look out for my pin-stripe jacket, South American frills and Cinderella ball-gown... Tailor-made, darling, tailor made!
