Monday's Notes

- ANDY, talk to me about stealing during "One Day More". I think I'm going to have you walk in front of the stage and steal sheet music off the orchestra stands.

- HOLLY, when you talk about Cosette being sick during "the Bargain" make sure you are not resentful. Don't try to be "fake" sincere for Valjean; try to be sincere. The audience will know Mme. Thenardier doesn't mean it. Your objective is to get more money from Valjean, and he will only do that if he feels sympathy.

- EVERYONE, good job living in the scenes. "Innkeeper Song" and "Beggars" are looking especially good. Make sure you do not upstage the rest of the action. Do not sign or overuse gestures. Point to something if you are talking about it or you want someone to pass you something, but that is probably as much pointing as you'll need to do.

- CONNOR, I like you looking at the table of girls and I like ASHBURN's reaction, but doing this once in the scene is enough.

- PEOPLE WHO DO NOT CARE, do not smile when on stage. Even if you are walking and talking to someone, talk about serious things.

- LOGAN, during "Bargain", move slower into your light when you are singing about poor Fantine. You are trying to draw out the drama.

- BEGGARS, move a little less. You are starving and weak. Find a small circle about 5' in diameter and confine yourself to it.

- ANDY, you entered from center-right and bent over to tie your shoe just as Gavroche was singing about Eponine. ESTEP, you walked by him while he was bent over: take his wallet while he's distracted.

- CONNOR & KLEIN, I was wrong, do not exit "Robbery" until measure 125.

- EVERYONE, great work today. Keep it up.
