The Boards, Tuesday [Dress Rehearsal]

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Despite his inability to get his television to work that morning (what was with that log anyway?) Genesis was in an utterly pleasant mood. Everything had come together on the preparations end, so far as he was aware, and that meant it was now up to his actors and actresses.

Which was both something to be pleased with and amused about all at the same time.

It wasn't the time to give a speech, or even words of encouragement--if they could not handle an empty theatre, then there was no hope for them--at least, not until after he'd seen where the problems that didn't crop up in scene-by-scene rehearsals came up.

Dress rehearsal was a go, and ladies and gentlemen, your director is expecting that you all know what you're doing by now.

[Wait for the OCD is uuup!]

For mingling and fretting and fussing.

Warren knew his lines.

He did! He knew them.

That was not going to stop him from pacing anxiously back and forth with the script in his hand and his face practically buried in it today, though. Nervous, him? Well... Yeah. And just generally not up to facing the world at large today anyhow.

So... Script.

Elphaba for her part also knew her lines. She also wasn't as nervous, because she felt as if she bloody knew things quite well, thank you very much. And so help her, if she turned into a gecko again, she'd scream bloody murder.

So it was sort of calm she had going for her. A calm that was just a teeny bit on edge.

Re: Backstage

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Sure, Ariel might have burst into the theatre and rushed backstage a little later for the dress rehearsal, but the fact that she had shown up at all was an improvement on her usual track record with these sorts of things.

She couldn't help it! It was just so easy to get distracted and forget...

But she was here, and that's what counted, right?

Squall made sure all the props were in place, and then just hung around in case people needed him. Oddly enough, he wasn't scowling, and he made a point to wish everyone good luck.

Re: Backstage

Alexander figured it was probably silly that he should be nervous when he was really just a stagehand; he wasn't even performing. Not that anyone could see, anyway.

But that just meant being worried that he'd bump into a set and knock it over, or close a curtain right on top of someone, or drop an important prop, or...or...or...

Karla was muttering to herself back stage. She had her lines memorized, the real question was whether she could say them and emote them without stumbling over her own tongue.

If Fandom decided to mess with them today, so help the whole island...

Kūkaku had plenty of fussing to do, but she'd hardly call it that. She'd call it more like making sure all the shit is right so no one loses a finger.

Fussing was a little less of a mouthful, though.

The good thing with having been stuck inside so much of the week before was that, in between time with Rinoa, Christian had had plenty of time to memorize his script.

He was still nervous about the actual performance part, though.

Re: Backstage

[angelo_wings]

After the past week, Rinoa couldn't find it in herself to be nervous. Anxious that she might botch her lines, and worried that she needed to not make any mistakes, but ... it seemed much less intimidating, facing down an empty theater, after the week they'd all had.

And so she was here, flipping through her script, and offering nods of encouragement to anyone who looked like they might need one.

Make-up!

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Because, truly, it is needed.

Costumes

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Which are bright and colourful and should fit relatively well, hopefully.*

[*otherwise known as you can totally mod their fit, yeah]

Re: Costumes

[capt-maxfactor.livejournal.com]

"Are my pants supposed to fit this way?" Jack asked, turning in a circle.

Re: Costumes

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin had a lot of costume changes, but that didn't worry him really.

He was double checking all of said costumes just to be sure though.

Re: Costumes

[boho-to-be.livejournal.com]

"These are fantastic!" Christian said, as he tied on his red silk cape.

Someone liked bright colors.

Re: Costumes

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Christian wasn't the only one who liked bright colors.

"Ohmygosh!" Ariel giggled. "We are going to look so cute!"

Dress Rehearsal

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Wherein Genesis expects everyone to all screw up at least once because he's an ass that way.

(He'd be pleasantly surprised if his minions didn't let him down, though.)

Re: Dress Rehearsal

Jack (and his pants, which were tight enough today to warrant mentioning) was happily (and for a wonder, coherently) running through his lines.

Re: Dress Rehearsal

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela managed to sit not-quite-patiently through wardrobe and make-up and waited for her cue to get up on-stage.

Except... once she was up there, she couldn't remember any of her lines. It wasn't one of those stupid 'I'm so nervous I forgot them' things, either. It felt like there were literally gaps where the words were supposed to be in her mind.

So she stood there, frowning in furious consternation, lips parted ever so slightly as she tried to force her memory to work properly.

Commentary

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Ping here if you'd like Genesis to crit your performance after the dress rehearsal as, for once, he'll not be interrupting the play as it goes on.

Audience

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Because he suspects there might be at least one viewer who might show up...

And if not, well, more seats for everyone else.

Talk to Genesis

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

If you care to disturb him, sure.

OOC

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

I have no idea if this OCD even makes sense--crew, you're backstage today with the actors, I didn't forget about you peoples--and that's... about it. Yes.

... I almost want to post Rosa now just to complete my character spam for the day.

My week has absolutely exploded on me, so I won't really be around until evening, unfortunately :/
