The show is taking shape - miracles happen in every night's rehearsals.
Mine was getting through my trickiest song word-perfect (knock wood) ... next, getting through the OTHER TWO tricky songs the same! ui!!!
For the most part, I am really getting around well, and pain is fairly minimal. I was actually told in rehearsal notes that I could come in more slowly for one entrance, because it looks like I'm rushing.
*I'M RUSHING!* Hee!
Minimal pain.
I tried Ibuprofen just for rehearsals - but I'm getting what may be those ibuprofen-induced hives again. So back to Tylenpl when I need it. It does the trick most of the time these days,
The Shin-divot is being stubborn, but I think I'm doing it right now. Oddly there are a few of those blisters around it which seem to be the ibuprofen hives... I really hope that's all they are. :P
I wear a dress at one point, and it's a PITA having to put a bandage and makeup over it to cover it. But, hey - I can stand and move and NOT limp all the way through entire songs.
I like that. :)
I'm tired - but more comfortable with and confidant in the show each night. And it's not just me - it's tough material and we're all tired and under-rehearsed, but catching up.
I have confidence as an experienced actor and singer, but time off and tricky material - they are enough to daunt any performer!
