jaalaThe QMT Board (including yours truly) met today to choose next year's winter show from the suggestions brought forward by the director. The winning candidate is Urinetown. Personally and selfishly, I'm disappointed that there is no flute or oboe part. As a member of the Board and a member of QMT in general, however, I'm excited at the prospect of doing such a unique show. I hope I find some way to get involved in it.

Today was move-in day for A New Brain. The cue-to-cue and partial tech run went surprisingly smoothly. Even my oboe playing was pretty consistent, probably at least partially due to an overdue physiotherapy appointment. I hope the trend continues.
It's pretty cramped in the balcony of the Baby Grand--and it's going to be even more so once everybody returns tomorrow--but I'm lucky enough to be sitting where I can see most of what's happening on stage. I always bring schoolwork with me during tech weeks but I never get anything done because everything happening around me is so much more interesting. And we in the orchestra had a grand old time sitting up there where we could chat during lulls in the action without disturbing the cast and director. We had plenty of entertainment in addition to the regular show too; it will be interesting if Sef (music director) drops his baton into the audience during an actual show.
I really can't afford all this time I'm spending on non-academic matters but... man, I love musical theatre. Off to make an urgent update to the QMT website now...
