The Last Five Years is officially underway!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tonight, we started a musical run through just touching on every song a bit so my actors and music director could get a feel for the music and what’s ahead of them. Fortunately, we have three EXTREMELY talented people doing this show. Heather Bales, our music director, is amazing and she has played the show once before. Even though she is familiar with it, ha she’ll be the first to tell you, it ain’t easy to play by any means! I’m sure she’ll be phenomenal during the run with a little practice and determination… something she can definitely handle. She sounded great behind the piano but if that weren’t enough… Dustin and Meme rocked it. Seriously, anyone in their right mind would have NEVER guessed this was our first rehearsal. Meme knows the music, is already making it her own and sounds like she’s been doing it for years [which she has but in the confines of her shower, house and car during roadtrips] and Dustin is perfect for this role and is sounding great, he’s surprising the hell out of me and we’ve been performing together for over 6 years! That, and he only started listening to the show about 2 months ago. This cast and music director already have made me a proud director and we’ve only just begun! I cannot wait to see the finished product and what we’ll be giving to audiences! Start talking up the show NOW! Tickets are on sale at www.lynchburgtickets.com !
