Well, after a monologue, song AND dance audition, I am proud to join the chorus of Lyric’s presentation of the Arabian musical “Kismet”. This show features romance, trickery, and the madness that ensues when those two themes are joined! I am almost finished with the first week of rehearsal, and it’s been pretty intense. Unlike traditional Western music, the music of Arabia features dissonant harmonies, half steps, and 8+ voice parts and soloists. We’ll be creating the sounds of an Indian Bazaar as seemingly random people come in on random notes for random amounts of time! This particular song switches between keys and time signatures every measure…. a bit intimidating for our pianist, to say the least. I’m very excited to really learn the music and start staging, and I’m VERY interested to see what we have in store for the dance portion of the musical.
I’ll have more updates, I’m sure, but for now, I’m gearing up for “another opnin’ of another show”!
