Backstage

Many thanks to Michelle Darling for these photographs!

Rehearsal Oh Heart, I See Him Everywhere Sling that practice cape, Kristen! Allie and Rachel swirl John Jr. is ready to dance Waiting to stand (*@#&% director!) Sing it, Jess! On our knees again? Stupid fat tricksy capes! Ashley contemplates mutiny (that's OK, she's the gypsy) Singing on the steps Hullo, bu-bye! Meanwhile, in the upper room DJ sings the blues Look! Tags! (We're proud of your organizational skills, Deej) Hmmm, I may be taking this "Man without a face" thing too far Jules wrestles with the laptop It's working! It's alive!

It's been a hard day's night The Crew Patrick contemplates how he can grab bios when they're dancing Pay no attention to the director behind the arm! Laura knows how to take everything in stride - caffine Jess faces off the never-ending painting jobs And does so brilliantly (we love you!) Music practice Jay doesn't let a broken ankle keep him down Pulling up my boottops

Thanks to Dad for lending us his digital camera for these shots! More Rehearsal The Opening Dance Trav takes his opening stance Where's the wanted sign? We don't know! Dan & Allie convince Trav he's really wearing a mask & hat Trav: Hey, look! It's me! YES! We got tapdancing! Ashley waits to "Vogue" Ashley struts her stuff Ash, stop giggling. Really, they're only kissing you. :P Setting up the first tableau (Jill stop laughing!;) Eventually we'll get the first tableau right... ...like now. (Yaaay!) Il est bel et bon Watch out for the director's meddling hand! The Bazaar (Ashley's Faboo Dance) Ashley stares down the CD player The bead sellers wait for instruction

We don't know. Just go with it. DJ goes up in flame Jill: So how's my breath? John: DJ, dude, where'd you get that third arm? Dan wishes everyone to live long and prosper Aw, look! Julie's still photogenic! Laura and EmilyM are painting the columns white Apparently a well-deserved polka break! Trav: I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille!
