“It was really great to see everything come together,” said
Meghan Flaim, FYP’s music director. “There’s still a lot of work to do but
we’re chugging along.”
The music team has taught a variety of numbers, including
rousing group songs like “Rent” and “La Vie Boheme.” Choreographer Bailey Marks
said “La Vie Boheme” will mark a high
point in the show, especially because of the humor it brings.
She’s seen considerable dancing ability in the cast so far.
“You can expect great things because these kids can dance,”
Marks said.
Outside of the hard work they’ve done in rehearsals, cast
and crew have been immersed in the tight-knit organization. New members have
been surprised, cheered and occasionally overwhelmed by enthusiastic staff
members at a number of events.
From their first rehearsal to the costume fitting and Adopt
a Street, the first few weeks of the new members’ experience have left few dull
moments.
Don't forget to keep an eye out for our Valentine's Day singing grams this Friday. Pay $5 to have some of Syracuse's most talented vocalists serenade a friend or lover from 3-9 p.m. Sign up at our table in Schine Student Center until Thursday.
Keep checking in on social media to hear more about the
progress we’ve made with the show. We’re starting a series of posts introducing
six cast members at a time with a Q&A and fun facts next week, so you won’t
want to miss out.
