O, How I Wish That I Could Sleep...
Jun. 3rd, 2010 06:02 pm...and dust behind the door go sweep.
So final dress for Thyme is tomorrow. We had it at the theater, which is down in Noho, right near where Kevin (Lori's BF) used to live, so I know the 'hood a little bit. Tech was a little tense, as these things always are--actors are used to DOING and tech rehearsals are just always difficult because we stand around so much. (And we've been rehearsing in some small rooms, which makes me very claustrophobic--I have to stand at the window so I don't snap at someone.) Most (if not all) of us are 100% on lines yet, although I'm pretty close. Poor Demetrius (who's a replacement for Luke) had a bad time of it yesterday but I like what he's doing with the character. For the most part, the costumes look FANTASTIC--Titania and Pumpkinseed look gorgeous, Oberon looks great and the lovers are all awesome. I'm a little mortified at these pants:
They make me look huge--the pants are too big and they're shiny and it just seems to suck like. I don't know what it looks like in real life as opposed to a picture, but I hope it's better. I'm supposed to be a fast-moving fairy, who makes a girdle 'round about the earth, not lumpy! Although this picture makes me giggle:
I'm all Creature of the Night....aaaaand I'm wearing pink pearl earrings.
The music is unbelievably perfect--it adds this magical, haunting, fey dimension that I LOVE. The music really completes the show, especially with the viola. Love, love, love it.
Can't wait to get this on its feet.
