...to create a show. Ok, so we're a week into our two week tech process. One more day before a day off and....wait for it...Mall of America!!! So exciting. Mama needs a new opening night dress. We are beginning teching Act Two today, so that means I get to sit and watch all the action for a while. My character(s) don't appear again until the middle to end of act two. So I'm gonna take advantage of this opportunity, and walk around with my camera to take some pics of all the goings on backstage. And I mean some MAJOR goings on.
Costumes arrived yesterday and you should see what some of these outfits look like. It's amazing. First of all, there seem to be a metric ton of them. But the gowns....man oh man....the gowns are, like, couture (in the words of Rachel Zoe). I can't tell you how many people are down there sewing and sorting and washing and hanging and styling wigs (which are genius)....not to mention all the crew, moving massive pieces of scenery, the dog handlers bringing the dogs to the stage. There's all too much to mention. It truly takes a village to put this spectacular on. And it will be just that...spectacular.
Let's see....what else can I tell you? Oh yeah....People magazine is here today to do a piece on the show!!! So I'll take some pics as well. Does anyone know how to post pics on a blogspot page? The fact that I even got this blog up and running is a mystery, as I am sooooo technologically challenged. So those who have been there, done that before, drop a line and let me know your secrets.
Ok, back to watching "I Am Legend" on this rainy Minne morn.

Hey, Erin,
ReplyDeleteCool blog. I'm enjoying reading. Can't wait to see the show in Boston. Re: the photos - look on the toolbar of your entry page. Find the icon that looks like a green tree. That's the insert/edit image button. Click it and a window should pop up that lets you search your browser/computer for the file you want to upload. There should be formatting options - size (use the web/email default, usu 320x240 pixels, or something similar), add a border if you want, give it vertical and horizontal space of 10 to give it breathing room around the type, align it left, right or center, and you should be good to go. Place your cursor in your text where you want the photo to appear, then click upload/submit or something similar. Once the picture appears in your text area, you can click on it and drag it to move it around. Hope this helps!
Best wishes for a great opening and tour!
