If you have already paid us, we are sorry for the confusion and you don't need to worry about this. If you have not yet paid, this is probably for you.

Each child's participation in this workshop and show costs $25. If you have more than one child participating, each additional child is only $20.

We apologize for the lack of clarity. Please call us with any questions.

On the other hand, the first rehearsal was excellent! We're very excited about this!

To the latecomers/kids who have not been able to audition but have talked with us about being in the show: make sure we know you intend to be in this show by this evening (Sunday the 19th) and come to rehearsal tomorrow morning with your audition form and medical release form printed off and filled out. We can try and cast you there.

SCHEDULE ALTERATION

THIS POST IS VERY IMPORTANT. I HOPE EVERYONE IS READING IT. Due to unforeseen circumstances and all that rot, BOTH of our performances (the 22nd and the 25th) will be knocked back ONE HALF HOUR. That means cast call is at 6:30 on Wednesday and Friday, as well as for our dress rehearsal on Tuesday, and our show actually begins at 7:30. Please pass this on and do not forget. Thanks!

Two rehearsals more!

Thanks for your effort today, guys. Below are several posts with instructions for the upcoming dress rehearsals and lyrics to our last song, You'll Never Walk Alone. Please remember, especially if you haven't been to rehearsal every time, that it is your responsibility to learn your music or ask us to help you if you don't know it. We have a CD of the music accompaniment for everyone, so if you didn't get one at rehearsal today, let Cami, Kristen or me know and we can get one to you.

And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.

Lyrics for Carryin' The Banner

Newsies: Don't forget to practice your song! Here's the link if you want to sing along to the clip from the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBgzLkauIrs. Below are the lyrics. I may or may not have included a verse we're not doing, so don't get nervous if there's something you've never heard. Thanks, guys!

RACETRACK:
That's my cigar!

SNIPESHOOTER:
You'll steal anudder!

KID BLINK:
Hey bummers, we got work tah do!

RACETRACK:
Since when did you become me mudder?

CRUTCHY:
Aww, stop your bawling!

NEWSIES:
Hey, who asked you?

MUSH: So, how'd you sleep Jack?

JACK: On me back Mush.

MUSH: Ha ha. Hear that fellas? Hear what Jack said?
I asked Jack how he slept and he said 'On me back Mush'

CRUTCHY: Jack, when I walk, does it look like I'm faking it?

JACK: No. Who says you're faking it?

CRUTCHY: I dunno. It's just there's so many fake crips on the street today, a real crip ain't got a chance. I gotta find me a new selling spot where they ain't used to seeing me.

MUSH:
Try Bottle Alley or the harbour

RACETRACK:
Try Central Park, it's guaranteed

JACK:
Try any baker, bum, or barber

SKITTERY:
They almost all knows how to read

KID BLINK:
I smell money

CRUTCHY:
You smell foul!

MUSH:
Met this girl last night

CRUTCHY:
Move your elbow!

RACETRACK:
Pass the towel!

SKITTERY:
For a buck I might!

NEWSIES:
Ain't it a fine life
Carrying the banner through it all?
A mighty fine life
Carrying the banner tough and tall
Every morning, we goes where we wishes
We's as free as fishes
Sure beats washin' dishes
What a fine life
Carrying the banner home-free all!

JACK:

It takes a smile as sweet as butter

CRUTCHY:

The kind that ladies can resist

RACETRACK:

It takes an orphan with a stutter

NEWSIES:

Who ain’t afraid to use his fist!

Summer stinks and winter's waiting
Welcome to New York
Boy, ain't nature fascinating
When you'se gotta walk?

Still, it's a fine life
Carrying the banner with me chums
A mighty fine life
Blowing every nickel as it comes

CRUTCHY:
I'm no snoozer

Sitting makes me antsy
I likes living chancy

NEWSIES:
Harlem tah Delancey
What a fine life
Carrying the banner through the slums

NEWSIES:
If I hate the headline, I'll make up the headline
And I'll say anything I hafta
'Cause it's two for a penny, if I take too many
Weasel just makes me eat 'em afta

(Sung in counterpoint)

1. Look! They're putting up the headline
They call that a headline?
I get better stories from the copper on the beat
I was gunna start with twenty but a dozen'll be plenty
Tell me, how'm I gonna make ends meet?

2. What's it say?
That won't pay!
So where's your spot?
Gosh, it's hot!
Will ya tell me how'm I gonna make ends meet?

(End counterpoint)

NEWSIES:
We need a good assassination!
We need an earthquake or a war!

SNIPESHOOTER:
How 'bout a crooked politician?

NEWSIES:
Hey, stupid, that ain't news no more!
Uptown to Grand Central Station
Down to City Hall
We improves our circulation
Walkin' til we fall!

(Sung in counterpoint)

1. (Split in two at first)

It’s a fine life

Carrying the banner through it all

A mighty fine life

Carrying the banner tough and tall
See the headline
Newsies on a mission
Kill the competition
Sell the next edition
What a fine life

Carrying the banner

It’s a fine life

Carrying the banner

It’s a fine life

Carrying the banner

It’s a fine life

Carrying the banner

It’s a fine life

Carrying the banner

It’s a go!

2.Look, they're putting up the headline
They call that a headline
I get better stories from the copper on the beat
I was gunna start with twenty but a dozen'll be plenty
Will ya tell me, how'm I gonna make ends meet?

Hitched it on a trolley,

Meet ya forty fourth and second,

Little Italy’s a secret,

Bleeker’s further than I reckoned,

By the courthouse,

By the stables on the corner someone beckoned

And I go get ‘em cowboy

You got ‘em now, boy!

And I go get ‘em cowboy

You got ‘em now, boy!

Go!

Performance Dates

We had a request for a post with the performance dates and times so here they are:

March 23rd and 25th at 7:00pm

There is a slight chance that they might change, but they probably won't. Just be flexible.

Audition Update and First Rehearsal

Thank you to everyone who participated in Saturday's auditions! We had a wonderful turn out and everyone who auditioned will be in the show.

Unfortunately there were a couple of people who were unable to attend on Saturday. Therefore, we will be having a very short set of auditions right before the MANDATORY rehearsal for all cast members.

The auditions will begin at 1:30pm and the rehearsal will begin from 2:00pm to 4:00pm on Saturday February 5th. A schedule of the following rehearsals will be handed out at this rehearsal and a copy will be available on this blog.

Other Ways to Help

We really would love it if all the stake youth would find a way to participate in this wonderful project. Here are some ways that we could use some help:

• Makeup Artists: Because this is a project that will be done on a stage under a lot of lighting, everyone will need to wear make up. Therefore, we need people who are knowledgeable about makeup to help the cast know exactly what to wear and help out before the shows with doing makeup for the cast. (Needed mainly in March)
• Hair Artists: These people will do pretty much the same thing that the makeup artists do except instead of makeup they will be doing hair. This job could potentially be combined with makeup artists. (Needed mainly in March)
• Technical Managers (Techies): These are the behind the scenes people who help with the lighting, sound, set changes and even the curtains. They will have the very important job of making sure the show runs smoothly and seamlessly. (Needed mainly in March)
• Stage Managers: These people are the assistants to the directors and will help the cast backstage with cues for scenes, set changes, and costume changes and all that good stuff. They will also serve as assistants to the directors and might be needed for proctoring at the auditions. we are looking for two to four of them depending on the cast size. (Needed before January 29th)
• Properties Managers: These people are in charge of the set and props. The set will be very minimal due to the fact that we are doing lots of different scenes, but we will have some set pieces and they will need to be made, found, or bought. There will also be some props that will need to be made found or bought as well. ( Needed by February)
• Publications Committee: These are the people who will make the programs and posters to announce the show. If you are artistic, but don't have two whole months to dedicate to us, this is the job for you. (Needed at least two weeks before March 25th)

If you are interested in one of these jobs, please email us or get in contact with us before the times listed for the job you would like. Also, if you have any other ideas of way to help us, fell free to suggest them to us. Our contact info is listed in the post, "New Project!" Thank you!

Revue Auditions

Auditions are going to be held on Saturday January 29th. The Ensemble auditions will be held at 1:00 pm and the Main parts auditions will be at 4:00 pm.

Ensemble Auditions: Anyone who does not want a solo part for singing dancing or acting should come to this audition. We will begin by singing a few songs all together that we are thinking about doing in the revue. Then we will move to the gym where we will just do some basic dancing. The purpose of these auditions are for us (Miriam, Kristen, and I) to know what you are capable of so that we can plan a great show. Don't worry, if you don't think you are broadway material that is just fine. We want to to participate. It will be really fun!

Main Parts Auditions: Anyone who would like to have a solo in singing, dancing, and/or acting should come to this audition. You will go to the east entrance of the stake center where a proctor will put you on the list to audition. The auditions will be done alone in front of Kristen, Miriam, and I and no one else. You may choose to audition for acting, singing, or dancing. If you would like to do two or three of those that would be great, but if you are only comfortable singing for instance, you can do a singing only audition (same goes for acting and dancing). You do not need to do prepare anything for this audition.

New Project!

Oak Hills Stake! We are excited to inform all the wards that we are still planning to put on the musical revue that was announced earlier. We understand that our delay in getting out specifics has made planning difficult, and we apologize for that. Here are the specifics:


General ensemble auditions: January 29, 1:00 PM
Potential solo/spotlight auditions: January 29, 4:00 PM
First rehearsal: February 5, 2:00 PM (All cast members attend)
General rehearsal plan: Saturdays in February and March at 2:00 PM and some Thursdays at 6:30 PM
Performance(s): March 25 (and 26?), 7:00 PM


All youth (ages 12-18) are invited to participate. Everyone who auditions will be cast in the actual show, though we will select some solo numbers. A musical revue consists of several songs, some scenes, ensemble and solo numbers, which all share a theme. The theme we have chosen is hope. Anyone who feels uncomfortable on stage can also do lighting, audio, stage managing, advertisement, etc. We will have sign-ups for these roles available at and around the time of auditions.

We hope that, through the songs we have chosen and in the ways we choose to present them, we will be able to communicate our love for the Savior and the testimony and vision we have for the future. We hope this will be a good experience for everyone who will choose to participate. Thank you so much.
