No Tues rehearsal – for the Brothers only, so Thurs night it is again. This time it started at 7.30 and I had plenty of time to get there – whew! I actually got there early and was waiting for someone else to get there and open the theatre!
We ran through ‘Go Go Joseph’ with the full cast, but before that the men ran through their songs as revision. I’m not used to having a strong male chorus with Sunnybank, so when they sang (in 3 part harmony in some bits) it gave me goose bumps. That and the fact they were directly behind me and were bloody loud!
The best bit was Toby doing his solo, ‘One More Angel in Heaven’. He’s a bit of a dork, but he really suited the song and hammed it up really well. We then learned ‘Go Go Joseph’. I looked around and had a squiz at the male cast. I knew about half of them, and tried to suss out the rest- the good the bad and the ugly :P
Friday night was my birthday and the opening night of ‘Pillow Talk’. I was in Deon’s (my theatre husband) group and met with a few of his friends. My darling Ashley was there too. I’d seen the movie many times, starring Doris Day, Rock Hudson and Tony Randall, and it’s always been a favourite of mine. The show was really good, a few from Joseph were in it: Phillipa, my fellow Diva, Marshall who plays the Baker, Michelle, our Choreographer, and Jane’s boyfriend Corey. They were all really funny and added to the fact that I was drinking pink champagne. It was a great night!
Sunday’s rehearsal started at 11, it was the first time I’d seen the kids – I tried to block out that this show traditionally has a chorus of children, but low and behold here they were! Admittedly there weren’t very many of them and they were all girls so how bad could they be really…
We blocked ‘Joseph’s Coat’ and the Brothers went around in a circle 20 odd times learning their moves, then we added the kids from group one (they’re split into 2 groups so they’re not needed for every performance) did theirs about 10 times THEN group 2 had their go. By that time I’d sung through the colours of the coat about 50 times – I think I’ve got it by now…
It was red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And blue!!!
