Oh wow, I am also majoring in a focus of Directing. I had the opportunity to direct my school's winter play after I got selected to and it was possibly the most eye opening experience of my entire life. I loved seeing everything come together of what I had in my mind and I was so proud of the actors and crew who helped put it together. Because I was a student, I had to do everything student run and that got a little hellish but it became the most successful play the school had had in over 10 years. (not counting musicals) because it made over 2,000 dollars without counting what it cost to make it. (in the end it was about 1,100+, royalties and some silly things). It is such a great feeling. I don't know if you would know the show but it was Shakespeare in Hollywood by Ken Ludwig. It's a parody of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream.
That is interesting, I will be sure to look up the musical sometime soon.
I love the Baker's Wife! She is absolutely my favorite character in the entire play. I also love the little girl because she adds some funny bits to it. The witch is amazing and when you have an actress who can pull of her, just greatness. I love "It Takes Two" because it's so cute and adds even more with "Any Moment" when she sleeps with the Prince. My favorite song though has to be the "Prologue/Into the Woods" followed by "I Know Things Now".
I am vying for either of the Princes or the Baker hopefully. <3
And then in a couple days probably.
