9/11/16-Double

In this lesson we staged the number Rent. Mimi and Angel do not appear on stage during this song, so me and Taylor had the easy task of sitting in the wings. However we still had to sing parts of the number. This number contained, mostly, parts sung by Rodger and Mark. However the company joined in on the chorus. Our choreographer decided to add dance during the song to try and make the song more enjoyable for the audience and to make it different to the many representations of the song in productions. I think Warren and Tyler found the dance difficult at first as you could see they were struggling with remembering how the dance went. However after practice they soon got the hang of it. Our director asked that all of us, including Mimi and Angel, sing the first chorus which only Mark and Rodger should only sing. This was so that we could introduce the characters sooner so they could do the dance. I think when it comes to performing the song on stage Angel's and Mimi's voice won't be heard by the audience as we won't have radio microphone either  however it depends where we are placed in the wings to give the loudest effect of our voices. As this is the first number of the musical we want to set a good impression for the audience.
