January 24 Critiques

Everyone	Maybe the crowd could freeze first time gypsy makes announcement, then wild cheering Crowd laugh bigger when Sam hands him clown costume Never touch curtains- If we do ladder downstage that way, they must use the ladder in same way each time. Work on transition to dances and after dances. Look at Sydney as the villager.  These people are odd – you look like high school girls. People noises throughout. Freezes need to be consistent. Whistles and whispered words before lights or dialogue starts at the beginning.  THIS MUST BE LOUDER. Wind as Marguerite exits. Screams – louder and longer We need names in the beginning.  Insert those. Engage with the gypsy Too many villager straight lines. Villagers can go DS and have backs to the audience. Everyone needs to be desperate. Get rid of the tubes. Shoes, someone do downstage, see a pair of shoes, take off yours and put new ones on.
Amy	I have to believe you’re old. Watch old people and imitate. Look at the Dalmation show – Cruella DeVille.  Weeser on Steel Magnolias
People right stage	You need to be in the show.
Sydney	Hysterical during Fugitivo.
Cassanova and Kilroy	Too 2016
Elijah	Use music as transition and when there is no dialogue.  We may have to shift the cues. We need some kind of music during Abdullah’s dance. Music during the dances. Look like you are writing a song at times.  Play a few notes and write it down.
Tucker	Don’t look at the audience except when you are supposed to.
Riley	Need a shot glass for Cassanova.
Lights	Red light on first dance. Blue on Fiesta.
Villagers	Need a purpose coming on stage and exiting.
Maky	Be on 4 X 8 – not eligible.
Sam	When there is a crowd, speak up Turn your light on. Watch the beat each time you say the number – vary that.
Brooke	Exit in character Be snobbier. Even your walk should be like a stuck up lady. We need to laugh when you say "put lord mulligan on dry ice" maybe We could give you a funny shrill voice"
Jonah	Enunciate. Try to stop swaying as you speak. Be BIGGER than life. Make us love you, laugh with you, and feel your pain. Look even more confused after the first dance. grab your heart when Mac says "vital organs unique in size" HERE needs to be written large. Be sure you cheat so that judges don't see profile Not so Texan. Be more curious about where you are. Learn your lines.
Jonah and Riley	Didn’t believe your confrontation.
Mac	Be terrified of the letter
Kylie	You are blocking scene in fugitivo
Sydney	I want to feel your desperate craziness after fugitivo. You are CRUEL to him and he loves you anyway.
