Fabulous Feet

or more specifically fabulous shoes! All the actors have finally completed their costume fittings with the talented Gail Astrid Buckley. You get a lollipop after a doctor's appointment , but after a fitting with Gail you get rehearsals shoes! It is a luxury to be able to work with your "show shoes" early on in your rehearsal process, but it truly makes a difference in the final product. This way the actors are able to have time to get comfortable doing their dance steps, lifts, any brisk movements, in the correct footwear. So if adjustments need to be made to the choreography or footwear, there is ample time.

Today was our last day in our rehearsal space. On Tuesday we start rehearsing on the stage in full costume with lights and sets and the mighty Wurlitzer! There will be so many new elements to get use to. I am very thankful that our fabulous shoes will greet us like old friends, first thing on Tuesday.

Eric McGowan (Xmas Future) with ASM Candice Mongellow. He is probably the most thankful out of all that he has time to practice in his shoes!
