MARIA: either mad or discontented but overall slightly chuffed
Written by andgadoline

Alright. It's half term and 3 weeks till show. I have made i list of pros and cons. Worryingly there may be slightly to many cons.

Pros - No problem hitting top C now thanx to amazing singing teacher. Dance getting better, cha cha coreographed. I feel pretty is shaping up. Big band reharsal next week.

Cons - Can't get on with tony, One of the school directors is deluded and does'nt know the musical at all. Tony can't sing or act, may be being overshadowed by Anita. Hav'ent learnt lines. My boobs have shrunk slightly since last year (noticed after being measured in costume dept)

I need more time.... and the double casts are still bugging me. The quintet is rubbish now the sharks and jets are all added. AND IN THE QUINTETI'M STANDING NEXT TO TONY WTF.

MAY I POINT THE LYRICS ARE " Tonight, Tonight, i'll see my love tonight." well aparently not as i'm standing NEXT TO HIM. Riff practically has to push in between us. I pointed this out as nicely and quietly as i could but was ignored.

Although i feel sorry 4 the other Maria her Tony is afriad of heights and won't dothe balcony scene... WHY! ARGGHHH

Anyone have any help with dealing with stupid stage directions from directors who don't know the show very well.???

Thanx byexx

*puts on costumer hat* As far as your boobs shrinking, it's possible, but moreso is probably due to the bra you were wearing vs. the one you were wearing last year. We always ask that an actor wear the bra they intend to wear for the show while being measured as it can change the shape/measurement of the bust.

As far as everything else, you will just have to grin and bear it and do your best for yourself. If you end up outshining everyone else, so be it. You are not the director, and even if you don't like the direction (or lack there of) it isn't really your place, unless you are being told to do something that is a possible safety issue.
So just relax and do your best, and don't worry about everyone else.
