Directing a musical. That's it. No time for anything else. No quilting, no cooking. 15 hour days at school 7 days a week. Three months of intense rehearsing. But now it's done.
The Sound Of Music. I know; pretty saccharin but it was wonderful despite all of it's preconceived notions.
The poor show gets such a bad reputation. It doesn't help that the movie plays a million times a year on TV. Well we were out to debunk the Julie Andrews myth. (I still love Julie Andrews) But Maria Von Trapp she was not. Plus the stage production is so different from the movie.
Such amazing people involved and most importantly, a truly wonderful learning experience for all.
The "VonTrapp children" were perfectly cast......
A cast of 50 people.
25 nuns. A beautiful sound. We had some alumni and faculty members join us.
Georg and Maria were perfect. Such voices.
