Notes from the Director - SHE LOVES ME, 7/19

She Loves Me Rehearsal Notes

7/19 – CHUNK 2 (Pg. 36-65)

• ·      Nicole—Try teasing Carly a little on “You belong to a lonely hearts club???”
• ·      Carly—better job interacting with Ilona—keep doing that and get your objective
• ·      Nicole—don’t scoop on “Come to think of it…gramophone” section
• ·      James—try harder to interject into Georg and Maraczek’s argument
• ·      Elliot—remember to start to x away from Sipos when he’s on the ground (Perspective)
• ·      James—get further upstage on solar system/universe bit
• ·      Audrey—enter for end of Perspective from stage right
• ·      Carly—fingernail (“better!”) energy is great—just take ½ second to really look at them
• ·      Rob—really try to play passive aggressive more in DS Right scene w/ Georg
• ·      Rob—when he yells across the room, deal with the customers
• ·      Savannah—don’t say “Excuse me, is this the large…” until Maraczek has exited
• ·      Elliot—get volume up in scene in workroom with Amalia
• ·      James— you need to get Arpad to deal w/ your customer when you say goodbye to Georg
• ·      Carly—when you come into the store in Will He Like Me—go USR and angle DSL—like you’re going to head for the door (not center downstage singing to audience)
• ·      Laurel, Nate, Sheila--Let’s make all focus of ambiance on Ilona from the top, instead of on the table
• ·      Darien/Laurel--I like putting rose into his mouth
• ·      All ens. Straighten up on chord after rest after “It points…”
• ·      Savannah—make a note of when you need to enter in “I Resolve” for Kodaly’s exit
• ·      Nicole—no scooping on “gets the urge to play”
• ·      Matt—you “knock” and Savannah stomps when you turn upstage for Keller
• ·      Matt—still playing the problem for him—keep it business (you don’t care about him and his wife at all)
•
