Okay, so I forget if I've discusssed this before, but Speech&Theatre is putting on a musical cabaret for the spring. Since the cabaret is my brainchild, I'm in charge of it despite only being the Treasurer (it's so funny...the VP and Secretary are the choreographer and the Prez is my assistant!). Unfortunately that means I can't be in it :( but I do get to direct the entire thing :) and I'll probably be hosting it, as well.
Our theme is Forgotten Broadway, meaning we will be using songs
a) From well-known shows, but the songs aren't the "signature pieces"
b) From obscure or underrated shows
c) From shows that were turned into movies, but the song was cut out
So one of our songs...provided we have the cast for it...is "Halloween/Good-bye Love" from RENT ("Halloween" was cut from the movie, and "Good-bye Love" was chopped in half; we are also doing the show to benefit the ONE Campaign so I was interested in the theme of suffering from AIDS). And I spent today blocking it...i.e. setting it up for the stage.
