Tech Notes #3 - Wednesday

All in all, great run last night! The highest praise is the fact that my son, Adam, sat still once the show started and was engaged the entire time. Only time he got wiggly was intermission (yes, that 5 min) but otherwise, he didn't move. Y'ALL KNOW ADAM. So, there you go. Bless it.

Here are random notes I took in my book. Some I understand, some I don't. I hope they make sense.

TECH

• Why do are there fans backstage and why can I see them from the audience?
• Haze/Fog missing during Biza & Donovan's first entrance (through window)
• Need toybox and stuffed Olaf
• Strike bed sooner
• Can we run fog before Tanner's group walks out to announce death of king/queen? Is that scene too short?
• Strike banners
• Castle problems in general
• Late cue on Townspeople for Dangerous to Dream
• Make sure crew knows when to use FX - constant problem throughout
• Umbrella needs new mark
• CALEB has to call intermission so everyone knows it's happening
• Better communication between crew & green room
• Katie needs to hit behind platform in a total blackout so she can assist Bella for quickchange
• SNOW LOOKED GREAT!
• First Time in Forever Reprise - Need haze/fog when Ella/Bella have duet and there's another ice strike here
• Hidden Folk need fog!!!
• Missed entrance Hans/Weselton bringing in Elsa
• Full on Blizzard conditions once Elsa (Bella) screams "What? No!!!"

CAST/VOLUNTEER NOTES

• Guys need to be louder in opening. It wasn't balanced
• Evan will work In Summer and Hygge after warmups today
• Abigail has to get off stage immediately after "What happened?"
• Meghan - Can you walk her off while saying your lines? She needs more time to get dressed.
• Make sure Amelia's dress is SR for her change
• "Queen Anointed" off on choral entrance - 4th chime
• Sam & Bella - From Evan "I am speechless because not only is it what I imagined but you've both put in your personality and made it even better."
• Weselton - nice tango, bad airquotes. I don't think they did that back then.
• Maddie D - work with umbrella before we do warm ups tonight
• "In Summer" - From Evan "Elizabeth and Lily" don't do the third pose with leg up because it's not stable and it has to be perfectly still
• Oaken's Family - need to work on your entrance Hoo - Hoo. Looked a little sloppy and not as funny as it could be.
• Sam's face at the beginning of Hygge scene wins the show!
• We'll practice bows again at warm-ups tonight or after run
• Volunteers - One person needs to be stationed in the hallway throughout the run so they can hear what's happening. Green room MUST be quiet. Hallway volunteer is literally the monitor of bodies, volume and cues coming from the stage.
