Quinn and Edie
The dance at the beginning should resemble “Anything you can do, I can do better”
Everyone
REMEMBER THE CUTS & WHAT WE DO IN EACH SCENE. After Sidney/Fanny scene, Mob handing out propaganda.
Use one 4X 8 for the house.
People need to freeze upstage
Bar scene – This should be horrible – turned to almost fast forward.  I want to see people coming in horrified and talking in small groups.  STEP ON LINES
Freeze when Roberson speaks.
At the end, when you freeze on Lee’s last line, Roberson walk through the crowd one more time . Extend  your hand to the audience.
Mob – fade out voices.
Welfare, watch standing in a straight line.
Work on better – natural laughs
Bank strike – make noise before Lee comes through.
Be frozen in the back during Lee ‘s speech after Moe has borrowed money from him.
Richer and Richer – hand motions.
Fanny, Lucille, Ryan/
I want you on stage in the background and in the foreground when you are not on stage as characters.
Fanny
Wear the other dress instead of the flowered one.  The pale one.
When you stop Sidney, grab his hand.
We could see you behind pylon
Work on freezing.
Grandpa
There is a shadow on your face. Every time you are in the house, take your hat off except when you are ashamed of your haircut.
Roberson
Good reactions
Clearer during Germany line.
Work on laugh
Quinn
Drag out long – It’s a long story.
Faces during dancer
Light and sound
No talking.
Lights
Lights up for dance at the start – lights 10 and 12
Lights on Rose and Irene and Roberson – they believed.
Light on Lee during Cornell and Brown line.

  1. I got halfway through the first line on the welfare scene and then remembered I had to have a low voice, but by then it was too late.

  2. I think we need more people noises in the welfare scene, that transition is so awkward with just silence

  3. The freezes we need to work on badly.
