Quantum Physics: The Musical

Four hours of dancing! Okay, since I'm the composer & music director, and most of the backtracks are now finished, it meant I pushed "start", sat back and watched the actors dance. But what fun. Keri, the choreographer, is doing a fabulous job. Some of the actors missed a couple of rehearsals last week, so we're behind with the dancing. Keri was uber-efficient and the cast were lapping the moves up and having a ball. The audience is just going to have a good time watching them enjoy themselves, I can tell.

I spent most of the day finishing the last backtrack. I'd hoped to get them all done and a CD made for rehearsal tonight, but it was not to be. I honestly don't know how I'm going to get it all done in time to make a cast recording, the way I'd hoped. But I know I'll do it, even if it means staying up nights and ignoring my adorable 2 1/2 year old daughter. (She is saying, lately, that she wants to write musicals when she grows up).

I can't wait to see the show put together in a run or stumble-through. Hopefully we'll get there by Saturday. Yipes. Today Ian (my hubby, co-writer, co-producer, director and stage manager) was building set pieces and contemplating lighting.

Must go to bed.
