Thursday 16th July

In the past few lessons we've been doing full rehearsals including one dress rehearsal, set design and finishing off some things in our teams such as ticket sales, putting up posters and making a Facebook event.
Since watching the Little Shop Of Horrors film I've realised that I'm going to change my characters costume as Patrick Martin wears a coloured suit with a skinny tie and a hat. My original idea was to wear a white shirt, black trousers and a tie with a weird logo on. 

Above is a picture of Patrick Martin with Seymour. Now that I know my lines, this is how I intend my character to look. I want to also replicate the behaviour of him. I'll doing this by acting very 'in your face' and over the top. I'll be forceful towards Seymour and not give him time to speak. 

With show night on Monday and Tuesday I used today's rehearsal to get used to operating Audrey Two, a problem I faced doing this was that because Audrey Two was only finished a few days ago Danny and I don't have much time to get used to how Audrey Two moves and when to move in position to move her mouth so that we can 'talk' for her.

Practising each song and dance without the backing track and with live music is also going quite well, even though it is a lot different, the company are finally starting to get used to it.
