[Drama-Committee] Tis a sad, sad day...
Hey Guys, Ok firstly Im going to give you the good news: We have hired a choreographer! yay! Bad news is...we can't do The Hot Mikado. I spoke to the chair of the Teacher's Society and they said it isn't up to them. Basically they've had the rights since last March! Weinberger should have gotten in touch with us to inform us of this much sooner - but they didnt. Plus they have no idea how far anyone in Ireland is away from each other. According to the chair of the society - they called weinberger when they recieved the Helix brochure! Whoops! So I've gotten upset - and angry and it didnt solve things. Basically - we need to pick a new show. I'm going to all Jamie first thing in the morning to discuss our options. I'm going to send an email to Tara "our favourite person ever" Nolan now...cuz the Helix need to be informed. CRINGE. Anyone has any ideas...send em this way. Suz -- Susan Doyle Sponsorship Officer DCU Drama
High School Musical ...I'm serious. The rights have recently become avaialable through Weinberger. Six main male parts. Five main female parts. Big chorus. *Instrumentation* Drums, Electric Bass, Guitar 1 (Acoustic and Electric), Guitar 2 (Acoustic and Electric), Keyboard 1/Conductor, Keyboard 2, Marching Band: Brass (OPTIONAL), Marching Band: Drum Corps (OPTIONAL), Percussion You can hear the soundtrack here: http://www.disney.co.uk/musicaltheatre/hsm/ Listen to the track 'Status Quo'. It might be cheesy but it's a guaranteed crowd pleaser. I'd say it'd really appeal to schools and families. Joey On 1/9/07, Susan <suz143@gmail.com> wrote:

Guys, to face facts... We don't have the singers for Aida... its has WAY too complex harmony lines and we need an AMAZING female vocalist for both Aida & that other chick. The male parts are easy enough though... I love the idea of doing Aida- but I don't think we'd fine the female vocalist with that range and power in her voice. AND I stress the IMPOSSIBLE-NESS of the vocal harmony lines! We couldn't even get a 5 part harmony line for "Rock the Boat" down properly... we don't have the male or female vocalist to do justice to Aida... But that's just my opinion on Aida. High School Musical would sell hugely to families as it is Disney... and to be able to whack that DISNEY logo on a poster will automatically make it sell. And when parents bring their kids to Disney shows they always buy programs (I worked at "Disney on Ice" and they bought programmes for €12!!!) Listing to the soundtrack- yes it is cheesy- but... since it's cheesy... I obviously like it!!! The vocals sound easy, its sounds fun, it sounds like its designed to make you feel good about yourself. Everything about it is appealing! (Actually I'm listening to it now as I type this... and "we're all in this together!"... S Club 7 eat your heart out!!!) Also- the dancing is limitless so it could be really 'fun' to do! Basically- I really like Joey's suggestion... High School Musical has my vote... twice... oh the cheese... With CHEESE please... =) Steve On 1/9/07, john cannon <dcujohn@gmail.com> wrote:
