Man, I wish I had time!

[richips.livejournal.com]

i heard that the rehearsals are only once a week so far, so perhaps you still could!

[countlibras.livejournal.com]

That was always my favorite musical. :)

[richips.livejournal.com]

are you going to join?

[countlibras.livejournal.com]

nah, I have bad stage fright. it's bad enough that I do cello recitals once a year. (plus, I don't know how good of a singer I am)

[richips.livejournal.com]

i have bad stage fright too. i am trying to fix it by facing it.
and this is a for fun house show, so no airs here.

Do you have any details that you could post here? Like where/when it's going to be performed?

[richips.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, i am not in the play, so Otter has all the details. I believe they are shooting for April, and in Allston.

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

I e-mailed for details. They're doing an informal production, mostly for fun, in their home in Allston in April, with rehearsals on Saturdays. I couldn't commit to the commute (because why ever leave the gateless gated community of Davis?), but it's sounds like a fun little project.

i thought it was Sundays?
Thanks for writing that!

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Nope, Sunday is correct. Someone below noticed my error.

[saxikath]

Rehearsals are Sundays, not Saturdays, per what I got from similar e-mails.

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Oops, you are correct.

[blacktigr.livejournal.com]

If I had any talent at all whatsoever, I would totally do this.

[aki.livejournal.com]

Ditto.

There is a giant. And a flock of birds. Also a cow.

[that80sgrrl.livejournal.com]

The role is traditionally played by paper birds strung on a wooden stick, so I'm sure you could pull it off.

Eeeeeeeeee! I love to sing, love musicals, especially love that musical in particular (yay Sondheim) and have really been wanting to do SOMETHING vocal that's not singing in the shower. I've emailed them, thank you so much for posting this!

[richips.livejournal.com]

yay! i am so glad! have fun!

[intuition-ist.livejournal.com]

word of warning for your friends -- Sondheim is harder to sing than anyone thinks...

[anyee.livejournal.com]

I'm fairly certain that I group doesn't go about picking Sondheim without having some clue about the difficulty level.

That said, he still scares me and I don't sing. But Sweeney Todd's pit orchestra needs a bass oboe. Yes, a bass oboe. I've never seen a real one...

Do you need live music!

[richips.livejournal.com]

ask them!
