Practice Makes TMUM!

I have been doing The Made-Up Musical for a little over a year now, if you can believe it, and in all this time I have only had about two, or maybe three rehearsals. TMUM is one of the flagship shows of the Magnet Theater, but we very rarely have the opportunity to rehearse! The reason for this is mostly due to the many conflicting schedules of the various cast members. In a cast as large as ours - it's understandable that everyone has a million different things going on at any given time, and finding a common ground for everyone can be quite a chore. However, it has become apparent that the show's creator wants to take things up a notch - and this can only be done through some good ol' fashioned face time outside of the show.

Tonight, all but three of the TMUM cast came together for a real reaheasal. We discussed the future of the show and where we would like to take it. Right now I feel like the show is more imrov with music, rather than a fully realized improvised musical. Everyone else seems to agree and in the coming months, we are all going to do our best to change that.

After a group discussion we dove on into doing tagline songs and just drilled the structure into our brains until we were blue in the face. Hopefully all of our practicing will payoff in tomorrow night's show!
