Let us try this again
Ok. Let's see if I can get these pictures up this time. There are only three of them, you wouldn't think this would be so difficult! Here are a few un-cropped, un-finished, rehearsal shots of the show. As in the last time I posted pictures, clicking on the thumbnail will open a huge version of the picture.
And yes, I am surrounded by showgirls while mixing a drink in that last picture. I didn't realize how much like Dean Martin that song is, until dress rehearsals when I was singing around a bar with sequined showgirls, drink in my hand, sporting a white dinner jacket. Somehow rehearsing the scene without the actual props and costumes didn't make the same impression. Although I have grown particularly fond of the Rat-Pack-meets-Gilbert-and-Sullivan direction of the final version of the scene.
