This blog entry is brought to you by the letter"D."
"D" is for "Dance." Which they do in Memphis. A lot.
And they do it really well:
"D" is also for "Discussion."
Which the choreography associates Edgar, Jermaine and Kelly do during Memphis rehearsal.
And that discussion leads to more dance.
"D" is also for "Danny Tidwell." Danny is in Memphis doing a lot of dancing.
And tearing it up while rockin' the period costumes.
"D" is also for "Dress Rehearsal."
Which means the actors are getting used to moving and performing in the clothes they will be wearing in the show.
Fun Fact: Montego's character, Felicia, used to wear a pink dress in this pivotal scene in Act II. I have to say that I am loooving the new green dress. It has really fantastic pleating on the bodice and a really interesting back. Plus her shoes....
Apparently, I am obsessed with shoes. I'm just going to embrace it because let's be honest, most people rarely pay attention to what an actor is wearing on their feet but sooo much time is spend on footwear that it at least deserves some blog attention.
Bravo to the wardrobe personnel who have been working on the footwear! I support you.
"D" is also for "Director." And Memphis has a great one in Christopher Ashley.
Chris works with Chad and Montego on perhaps my favorite moment of the show.
Fun Fact: Chris uses a microphone during tech so that he can speak to the entire theater and be heard. Especially helpful during the rockin' musical numbers which we also have in the show.
"D" also stands for "Do you think this is picture of Chad Kimball (Huey) is amazing?"
Because I do.
