ok...
as a discruntled member of the cast i have this to say (lol)
the direction was crap...
they did take a @!#$ load from the movie, which is pathetic. if you're gonna attempt to put something on like this, you have to be original! i had many ideas but was unable 2 express them, and im sure quite a few of the cast felt the same way.
the direction was pretty much "go over there and do something interesting"
the auditions.... well... the lead joseph didnt even audition! he was handed the part in late 2004 by defult, because he was part of wacpa... at the begining they were slightly picky with who got in the show, but half way through, they would take anyone, regardless if they could sing or dance.
the music.... well WE HAD 3 DIFFERENT SCORES!!! they all contained slightly different arrangements and lyrics, and we had to swap between them constantly. it wasnt until weeks before the show opened, that we got the final version of "One more angel in heaven"!
> then when we Finaly got to reherse with the band, we get there to find out that some of the songs weve learnt dont match the band's score, so 3 days before we open, we had to totaly redo "Go GO Joseph"
pettine croul... was out of her leauge. she may have all these things to her name (including a MBE, which she constantly reminds us of), but she had no idea what she was doing... her infighting with the other directors and the producers was quite pathetic and UNPROFESSIONAL... did u know that she QUIT the night before we opened? we were "lucky" to get her back... Ha! She cannot conduct a band to save her life!
i crashed heads with her on numerous occasions (in which i was only correcting her on a mistake she was making)... girl needs a wake up call.
..... But in the end, i had fun and it was a good experience, aswell as slightly bad too, sometimes. i enjoyed my time on stage, and i think the cast did really well under the circumstances we were put under. i have made some good friends with the cast and being in the show did help me vocally (ie with projection and learning to take care of my voice), so i take these things away with me...
