Hey guys, Here is the rehearsal schedule for Sweeney Todd rehearsals this term. As you can see we only have time to rehearse many scenes once or twice so it is very important that everyone is rehearsing blocking/dancing, looking over singing parts and learning lines in their own time. It would also be very useful if you could bring all your music/scripts and a pencil to make notes with to every rehearsal. In addition to these rehearsals many of you will have to attend rehearsals with the orchestra which Gregor will tell you more about nearer the time. We will be announcing many of the smaller parts and the specialist singer parts tonight. If anyone has is unable to attend any of these rehearsals or has dropped out of the show altogether please let me know ASAP. If cahnge the schedule at all we will let you know with plenty of notice. Hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year. See you tonight, Lorna
