Rehearsal Update #2


Tomorrow is our designer run! We have run through the show twice now and it is in great shape! This NETwork's production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast has been re-imagined and is being fulfilled by 30 carefully cast, incredibly talented actors and actresses. I am looking forward to the impending tech process. We will gain additional rehearsal time as well as the magical synergy from the missing elements!

I'm becoming more comfortable with my swing position and the daily refining and evolving from rehearsals. Currently I'm focusing on the big picture, but will soon be able to get specific. While I'm not yet getting to perform, I am so grateful for this experience. It is a blessing to observe firsthand the process of Broadway creatives!

While I still have much work to do, I find it hugely gratifying that I will eventually get to explore multiple roles! I have to say I most look forward to playing Lefou and Monsieur D'Arque and am most terrified to assume Carpet or any track that isn't Tenor II! Regardless, the fear I hold will dissipate over time with enough rehearsal.

In good news, I was able to accomplish front and back handsprings this week with the help of Olympic trainer Wei Zhu. I have another session with him on Monday morning and will tour with at least one gymnastic coach! My special skills are growing!!! :)

Please feel free to write me from time to time! I look forward to seeing many of you in several weeks!

(((LOVE)))

Tony
