Costumes, et cetera

ceebeegeeWe worked our way through costumes last night--most people looked pretty good. I'm still tweaking Don's costume--they had him with a white, ice-crusted, glittery crown and I said that would be great for his last appearance (when he turns older in one night) but he should have a wreath of holly leaves on his head for most of it. His mustache is a little uneven and I kept fiddling with it.
There was a reporter there last night who took a bunch of pictures. She took my contact information and is supposed to be calling me this afternoon. That would be great to post on my website if she follows through. She's also supposed to be at the runthrough tonight.
Daphne looked adorable as Tiny Tim. The costumer seemed to have a thing for head coverings for the women--he had Mrs. Cratchit with a shmatta covering her hair, and Xmas Past with some sort of...band...lopsidedly covering her head. No, no, no. Mrs. Cratchit looked as though she got lost on the Fiddler tour, and Zoe has such a sweet, delicate, youthful beauty, we can't cover that up. I told Zoe to leave her hair loose and we would have her wear maybe some kind of circlet. She needs to be able to wear the cap at the end of her scene.
The Cratchit family sounded GREAT during "Once in Royal David's City"--first time they nailed it. All in tune.
The little girls in the cast are KILLING me, they are so adorable. They've figured out how much I love kids, especially smart little girls at that age, and have been showing off for me ever since, all "look what I can do!" and "listen to this!" So, so cute.
Karen, one of the assistant producers, was taking some production photos last night, and she mentioned to me that Carl has been saying that this is going to be his favorite Christmas Carol. I'm not sure if he meant ever or at DeBaun but regardless, I'm thrilled. Dave had told me that Carl and Giovanni both had been saying good things about the show--very nice to hear. Karen said that she remembered the interview and how very sure I was about what I wanted to do with the show--"and it's obvious you've done that." I said well, I have a great cast who give me what I want.
This Saturday and Sunday, I have to spend the entire day at the theater--Gina said we'd be lucky if we only spent 12 hours (each day). GAH. Apparently I have to approve all the tech calls. I dearly hope they pay for my dinner (not that I need the money, it's just the principle!). My throat is starting to feel really raw--it's like my experience two years ago with DeBaun A Christmas Carol, except that this time, I don't have to sing! I think I may try to nap for a little bit in the house between tech discussions.
Here is a partial cast and director photo--there are some cast members missing including my friend Ashley (in the specialty choir) and a Cratchit daughter.
