I am so excited and impressed with all that has been going on over the last month or so during rehearsals. I am impressed with the amount of work that all of your children are putting into the show. We are making great progress and by the end of this week we will have everything blocked and choreographed through Scene 4. That makes me so excited and happy.
I am writing this post for a couple of different reasons. First of all I want to let you know of a couple of things that are coming up. Next week we will be starting to meet with our stage crew. I have quite a few kids that are signed up for stage crew, however, I know that some of you are only interested in working with hair and make-up. We need to have a meeting with all stage crew and this meeting will be on Wednesday, February 17th during rehearsal time. Secondly, I am getting ready to order t-shirts. Just as a reminder, t-shirts are for all cast, crew and choir members. The cost of the t-shirts is covered by the donations that have been collected. If you haven't paid your donation yet, please do so as soon as possible. If you are unable to pay the donation, please send me a private email and let me know, jcoombs@alpinedistrict.org.
The last thing I need to make you aware of is regards to costumes. This musical is a bit different than last year, in that each cast member will have a pre-Wonderland costume as well as a Wonderland costume. Our budget is not big enough to cover the cost associated with providing 2 costumes for each cast member, so I need your help. I have included a list of characters in the musical and costumes that they need for the opening number. These items should be things that they already have at home. Please find your child's character name and the items of clothing they need.
Alice (small, medium and tall):
White tights, black dress shoes
Cheshire Cats
Denim Overalls (shorts, pants or capris are fine)
Tennis Shoes
White Rabbit
Blue Jeans and a plain colored t-shirt
Tennis Shoes
Mad Hatter
Bright Colored leggings and a plain colored t-shirt (doesn't need to match)
Crazy socks
March Hare
Shorts or jeans and plain colored t-shirts
Doorknob
Jeans and Brown colored shirt
Queen of Hearts
Red t-shirt and black pants (shorts or capri's are fine)
King of Hearts
Pants and top that have any combination of red, white and black
Royal Cardsman/Cards
Jeans and plain t-shirts (any color is fine). They can wear jean shorts, pants or capris.
Cards also will need black pants and black long sleeved shirts to wear under their card costume. The pants can be sweats, or leggings and the shirts can have a graphic on the front cause it will be covered, it just needs to have long sleeves.
Rose, Petunia, Lily, Violet, Daisy and Flower Ensemble
Anything with a flower print on it (dress, pants, shirts) You can mix and match plain with flowered print for example flower leggings and plain t-shirt, or jeans and a flower print t-shirt.
Caterpillars
Jeans and orange or green plain t-shirt
Dodo Bird
Jeans and t-shirt, nothing particular
Lobsters
Leggings and plain colored t-shirts
Creatures
Jeans and t-shirts (shorts, capris or jeans are fine)
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
Jeans and striped t-shirts (red and white, blue and white or black and white stripes)
Also, all female cast members need to have a black pair of short spandex (bike shorts) or spankys and a cami to wear under their costume. Due to the number of people in the musical and quick costume changes, it is best if they have something under their costume so they can quickly change and stay modest.
Thank you all again for your help and cooperation with all of this. If you have any questions, please leave a comment or email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
