MUST READ: Notes from last night

Notes for the Cast

• Mrs. Darling: smile during The Darlings!!
• Michael: loved the bits you're doing with the teddy bear!
• Mrs. Darling & Wendy: for both of you, make sure when you get up from the rocking chair at any point in the show, do it slowly to avoid making the chair rock like crazy when you leap from it 
• Lost Boys: during the dance break in "Come Away," make sure you're making noise, chattering with each other, calling out each other's names, etc.
• ALL IN COME AWAY: At the end of the song, stay ENGAGED and EXCITED! You looked like you were waiting for your cue for "and straight on 'til morning" from Ms. Z... even though you are waiting, don't make it look like you are!
• Lost Boys: as soon as you are ALL onstage (right before lights come up), start playing and making noise!! You look AWESOME. I love all the games you all have going on!!
• RICH DAMPPPPPPPP CAKE
• Lennon: loved the timing with "What's up captain?"
• Lennon: make sure when you hold the clock that the face is facing the audience, or else they won't know it's a clock!
• ALL in Mermaids' Lagoon: pick up the pace! Especially at the beginning w/ Smee & Starkey
• ALL in Braves to War: sounds great!! Give MORE ATTITUDE, MORE ANGER throughout the whole song! Every step you take is with angry, fierce, war-driven purpose!
• Tinkerbell: You look fab after you drink the poison! Well done :)
• Wendy: for the new bit in front of the curtain before the Jolly Roger scene, you MUST have your cloak. If it's not at the prop table, it might be pre-set off stage right
• Peter & Hook: if, for any reason, timing is off, you must STOP the sword fight at the end of the fight music
• Liza & Nana: during curtain call, you will set the pace for the rest of the bows. Starting with you two, in order to make sure timing is right, you can take your time with bows.
• Those who are last to bow: keep in mind that you should not get to the gestures to light/sound/directors UNTIL the music slows to the waltz (the part where the Indians come out in Act I); make sure you adjust the timing of bows accordingly

ALL CAST MEMBERS WITH DIALOGUE: If someone drops a line, rather than looking to us down in the audience, try to make up for the line. Last night when Peter missed his cue to come on after shooting Wendy, you did a good job of covering up... "what do we doooo?!" The same applies for ANY scene where ANY character is late or drops a line. You can cover for them. Don't be afraid, just stay in character!!

Notes about costumes, etc.

• No white socks
• No nail polish
• No jewelry, watches, etc.
• No gum
• Stay in character AT ALL TIMES when you are ONSTAGE!

Thanks everyone! We're going to have an amazing run of Peter Pan!
