07 June 2006 A New World I'm dropping the "Whole" because, well, it's not that new. Just different, maybe. Rehearsals for Rep's Aladdin Jr. have started. As of yesterday, we finished learning all the songs. Now it's just a matter of cleaning the songs and putting character into it. Not to mention memorizing them. Thank goodness they're rather easy (or at the very least familiar) songs. And, hey, hot on the heels of a Sondheim, this ought to be a piece of cake. The first day didn't go as smoothly for me, personally. Even with so many people I knew there, I still hadn't completely adjusted to rehearsals. It didn't help that I sat so far away from the people I knew. I was just overwhelmed by the whole thing. The talent in the room was just too much. So, I was quite terrified of the whole thing. I was worried I'd screw up badly, and that the people there would hear me and realize that hiring me was a mistake, or something. Yes, first day jitters. Thankfully, the next day, I went in early and managed to plant my feet on the ground. I'd like to think I've adjusted to the situation at hand, now that I know what to expect (more or less). Now I can have some fun. It's my first professional major musical, and I want it to be memorable for all the right reasons. I'm taking this seriously, but not too seriously that it stresses me out. I'll remember what I've learned and applied in my last two productions: Have fun! It makes all the difference in the world. posted by Ren at 1:47 PM |
