Working the choreography for Be Our Guest proves challenging when so many cast members are out sick. This always seems to be the problem with calling for rehearsals and only some of the cast shows up. The real challenge is the short rehearsal schedule. We can't go back to teach those who missed the choreography creating more demand on those who are there to KNOW what they are doing.
Some of the cast members are also dancers, which helps. The steps are simple enough but learning to sequence them, let alone remember the sequence often confuses the novices. We have a great team, though, and they work patiently with the novice dancers. Those who are involved in dance as well, also "step up" and lend needed support to their fellow cast members.
Hopefully we can get over this sick stretch and make the most of the rehearsal time we have left. Only three weeks to show! The cast will be surprised on Monday when they see what we have in store for them!
