February 25th:
Dear Cast,
We got a lot done this week. The Prologue through Scene 6 are blocked! Please work on memorizing those scenes. (Your lyrics, blocking, lines, and choreography).
This Wednesday, March 2nd, we will concentrate on blocking scenes 7-13.
We appreciate those that are practicing. Those who aren’t practicing are falling behind. Please practice with the performance tracks as rehearsal tracks won’t be used anymore. We will be working with performance tracks from here on out.
Your choreography practice links can be found in previous show updates. Please use them!
Also, remember that you do not have rehearsal the Wednesday of Spring Break, March 16th.
See you this week!
Love,
Mrs. Deb

Thank you for working so diligently last night. Our show is completely choreographed! Below are links to the practice videos from last night and the links to the other musical numbers are on the previous post. Please keep practicing! You are doing a great job! We will begin blocking our scenes this coming Wednesday. Keep working on memorization.
February 11th:
We are getting so much done! I am amazed and our show is going to be fabulous! Below are the links to the new Choreography Practice Videos. Lots of practicing needs to be happening at home. Work on a song a day. A few of you are really falling behind and we can tell that you aren’t practicing. We would be devastated if we have to start cutting people from musical numbers, so please make the time at home.
February 4th:
Dear Cast,
Thank you for all your hard work this week! Those of you that practiced at home, it showed! Some of you need to really need to make practicing a priority, because you are falling behind. The choreography practice links are below:
This Wednesday, we will be going over music, choreographing “The Mob Song”, finishing “Human Again”, the Second Wolf Attack”, and reviewing all the other numbers. If there’s time, we will get some more blocking done, as well.
Love Ms. Deb
January 28th:
Dear Cast,
Thank you for being so prepared for rehearsals and practicing so much at home!! I am so proud of you. Please use the links below to practice “Belle”, “Human Again”, and “Wolf Attack”. There’s also a new link to the updated “Be Our Guest” Choreography for you since we reworked some things.
This Wednesday there is a change from the rehearsal schedule. We will be working and cleaning all choreography numbers. It is an All Call.
Please remember your scripts!!! We don’t have extras and it makes it hard when you forget them. There is a lot to practice this week, but you are all rockstars!!
Love,
Mrs. Deb
January 20th:
Dear Cast,
I am so proud of your hard work this week! Thank you for making your at-home practicing a priority. It really shows! We have completed two HUGE musical numbers, so please use the Choreography Practice Videos to help continue to practice often at home. Next Wednesday, we are learning music and choreography for Belle, (another big number), and reviewing Be Our Guest and Gaston. In order for us to get all that done and stay on track, practice as much as you can. Can’t wait to see y’all next Wednesday!
Love ya!
Ms. Deb
January 12th:
Dear Cast,
You did such a fabulous job last night!! Please practice your choreography for Be Our Guest with the practice video. The link is below.
Your rehearsal tracks are available to you on the Show Page to download as well. I have also attached a rehearsal schedule for you, so you know what’s coming next. This is a big show, so please remember to practice at home so you are prepared at rehearsal. Please also remember to bring a pencil to rehearsals so you can make notes in your script.
Love,
Mrs. Deborah
