Last Saturday, our Phoebe and choreographer, Ashley worked with some of our cast on the first of our “production numbers” for As You Like It.
SPOILERS follow…
When we move for the last time from the court/outside world to Arden (following Duke Frederick’s threats to Oliver), we’re going to finally remove the curtain to reveal our tree…
In doing so, we’re going to do a kind of Billy Joel “Uptown Girl” number with Orlando as our Billy and “the dancing Shakespeares” as his posse of friends. They are going to inspire his writing, then hang his writing on the tree.
Watching Ashley work with our guys was just wonderful. I had a grin from ear to ear for most of the rehearsal. Giddy.
inspiration…
dance…
I cannot wait for people to see this…
Oh, and by the way, TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE!!!
