Yeah...about that...hehe...relatable. I once had to finish painting a set piece that someone had not done the day of opening night. Thankfully it was dry by the time the show happened. ;)
Dude our whole cast got sick on closing night 😞 luckily we all managed it and got through (it was just a play so luckily no singing) but i was sick for 2 weeks after and it was miserable
I was sick through our schools run of James and the Giant Peach. Luckily I played centipede and I already was using a really nasally voice so it was mostly alright
Once I got sick on the closing night of my MUSICAL show. I completely lost my singing voice, I felt horrible, and I could barely talk. But I did my best mouthing the words and stuck it out for a two-show day.
omg when i was in newsies i got sick closing weekend (i had a sinus infection) so i had to do three shows i was also a lead (i was les) so i just felt so blah and one time when i had to “cough” i actually coughed and it sounded so gross 😭😭😭
i did into the woods (playing cinderella) early 2021 in a break between lockdowns... we're now deep in lockdown again and this has given me such NOSTALGIA AND JOY
I'm so jealous. My biggest part was about 150 lines, but it was made up of a bunch of small parts, and one of them was cut for time and parts of the other were cut and I ended up with 30 lines 😭. I have one more musical I can do at my acting class and its either going to be shrek, matilda, fame, or mean girls. Either way, I'm so excited
Update-I’m in theatre our show called “the reckoning” starts this week on Tuesday!! I didn’t get casted as anything for tech or actors team but hopefully next show!! I’ve been there for some rehearsals and it looks soo good 10/28/21 9:17pm I never understood why everyone involved was so sad when the show was over the last night but now I do, I got the chance to be a part of a show and help everybody it felt so good. Tonight was our last show and I feel so sad about it being over now, at least I still get to see them at the theatre fest this Saturday tho or speech and debate.
i know this video is a few years old but i just recently got hired as the assistant director for a local community production of Clue, and im jazzed! and also way overthinking it lol so I've been looking for theatre vlogs to help me process. thanks so much for documenting your experience, its fun to watch and is getting me in the right mindset! 😊 thanks especially for including the not-so-fun parts, it makes it real ❤
Being sick during tech week is like a right of passage for a theatre kid. When we did mama mia two years ago, almost the entirety of our leads were sick. On the last show of the wedding singer the same thing happened. It was crazy.
This isn’t really theatre related, but the day before a huge band competition of ours (which was a Monday) literally EVERY single person in my grade who was also in band was sick. Every. Single. One.
We just got the cast list for my schools musical (beauty and the beast) and I got cogsworth which I’m so excited for! He is probs my biggest part so far lines wise but I’ve been doing theatre since kindergarten and have a lot of experience so I’m not nervous lol but I def feel like the show is going to be amazing and I’m so excited for rehearsals to start!
Ok so we're doing Newsies. it's tech week. I play Davey. I'm a girl. the show was written for guy voices, so they guys are belting high notes and the girls are either killing ourselves with low notes or absolutely dying singing octaves up. well, we didn't learn seize the day til last week. I never got to work on it privately. Well, I'm performing Friday with basically no training in it and my voice won't stop shaking because we've damaged them from belting so much. :(
@@sagegreeeeeeenI completely forgot I commented this. Thank you! I had two shows, first one was fine but seize the day part one was iffy. Second night I managed to get seize the day part one, a little pitchy at the beginning of once and for all but overall didn’t suck!
Wow I'm late haha. We finished my first musical performances a while back . And I literally can't sing at all, but I love acting(so like one act is literally where I thrive haha)and my school did nice work if you can get it, our Elaine had been gone for a bit because of athletics, so I had to go on for her during rehearsal. And I loved it so much. After that I came to the audition and I signed up for techie when I tell you the director was pissed she was really pissed. She told me ' Elizabeth, please just audition. You get up there and I garente you will have a lead role.' but I INISTED on doing tech so she left it alone. Now I regret it and gesosjwhwjjwkwjssjweja
I dont know if it just because its a middle school production but our “hell week” wasnt that bad! but i bet it will be hell when i do high school theatre though.
I love that a video I made when I was 15/16 is a source of comfort for you, I wish I could travel back in time and tell my younger self that. Makes me so happy :”)
i'm in into the woods rn as well, i'm little red !! this is also the biggest musical role i've ever done and i'm so scared even though we don't perform for a whole month lmao 😭
Ik I’m SO late, but I just started drama club (I’m pigtails in newsies) and it’s my second year doing it. I can say, this is a pretty good showing of it
12:00 I should do tht cs whenever im doing shows, me and the group kinda js memorize where to go when its our time to go 😭 other than tht, we nvr messed up thankfully
OMG IM DOING INTO THE WOODS TOO!! We haven’t had tech week yet bcz the shows in June but I’m just preparing myself Update; the shows tomorrow, tech rehearsal was a disaster and we hardly have the show finished
I have Tech week next week for Insomniac Society and I can’t get my lines down! I’m Ninja of the Night so I have a pretty important role, I’m really excited to be back onstage after 2 years, but also my best friend can’t make it so I’m so nervous because he’s kinda always where I am-
