Cabaret Rehearsals

Tonight will be my second rehearsal for Cabaret in the West Village. I really like the choreographer. She has a lot of connections at a lot of union theatres, so I will definitely stay on her good side! She is also giving us discounts to take her dance classes on Thursday nights and Saturday afternoons for Tap and Theatre Dance. That's exciting, because classes normally run $15/ class, and now we can take them for $7/ class!
Yesterday we learned the opening number and the "money" song, and now we will review those numbers and hopefully start another number. I think overall this will be a good experience, even if it's just networking with people in the business, you never know who you will meet.

Cabaret

Should be an interesting experience. I only hope the 4 and 1/2 hour callback doesn't reflect what our rehearsals will be like. We don't get paid anything except that we'll recieve a ticket code, so that when we advertise, we tell people to use that code, and we'll get $5 per ticket (at $25 per ticket). I'm a Kit Kat Girl, one of the Klub girls, and it will be a good dance show for me, ANDI will be playing the violin as well. There will be beer and wine service, and it's in a good location (the West Village). They are very understanding about conflicts since they're not paying us anything, which seems fair. There were a tons of girls who auditioned, so I feel lucky to have an opportunity to perform in the city, even though it isn't the biggest credit of my life. Experience is experience, and exposure is good.
I'll be blogging a bunch, I'm sure.
Plus, I'll be auditioning for summer theatre at the same time. Cabaret goes up the second weekend of March runs 3 weekends, Thurs, Fri, and Sat at 8pm, Sun at 2pm?
