On the Other hand...

There are some upsides to working with older men. Ooh, that sounds kinda pervy. It's not going to be. Well, kinda, but not on my part. I know, I know, stop blathering and tell the damn story..

I had a rehearsal yesterday with three of the men in the show, the three leads. Now, these men are FABULOUS. Amazing singers and freaking HILARIOUS actors. ONe plays the old senile "Lord Chancellor", and the other two are kind of the tweedle dum/tweedle dee types. And they're hilarious. Both on and off stage.

Last night we were working on their trio. Everything I say is apparently up for scrutiny.

Let me give an example of one of my harmless comments that brought about a retort:

"Ok, after you do this, then S.(another character) comes"

Out of the corner of his mouth: "But he's not even breathing hard yet!"

And now, some other comments that didn't escape my lips unnoticed/uncommented on:

- "Shake it off before you grab it"

- "It'll look stupid if you come early"

- "Present your hand and then go down."


A two-hour rehearsal flies by when you're laughing this hard.
