Musical Theatre (29) - Random songs

Below are the numbers we went over today and how they went:

• "Without You":   This number went really well. The vocals sounded really nice and all the movement was effective. We remained in character throughout and created the right atmosphere.
• "I'll Cover You (reprise)":   The acting side of this is getting a lot stronger. The harmonies have all really improved, and so has Lewis' vocals, but his tuning is slightly off at times (but this is understandable as he has not had any vocal training, but it works well for the situation as he is supposed to be really emotional).
• "La Vie Boheme":   This wasn't so great today. Some people forgot their lines and it was just generally lacking energy. In places, the piece was fine, but a lot of it just felt awkward. We need to put so much energy in to this number to make it work. However, I still think that it would help if we had some more set movement in this number.
• "Happy New Year B":   This number was fine again. I think we are all happy with this number now as we know our blocking and are comfident with the song. However, I think to improve this number, we should work more on character relationships and how our characters would feel about the current situation - as these decisions would alter our body language and facial expressions.
• "Tango: Maureen":   Vocally, this song went really well. We did our dialogue leading in to this number as well today for the first time. Our dance didn't go quite to plan during the lesson, as we hadn't managed to meet up outside of lesson to go over it at this stage, but we remained in character and worked on our relationship. I really liked the movement that Cameron added to his character nearer the beginning of the song on the line "as she keeps you dangling, your heart she is mangling". After this lesson, we went through the dnace together to ensure we both knew it and were happy with the steps - we then did the dance with the music.
• "Light My Candle":    I am confident for Henri and Taylor with this number, as every time they perform this number it looks the same - the standard never drops. The vocals sound good and the number is entertaining to watch.
