Rachel's notes on our casts performance:

Act 1 prologue
Needs to be run with media and the guitar timing needs to be sorted for Josh and Stuart on stage.

Scene 1 laser cell
Now we have laser lights we need to incorporate them into all of Killer queen and Khashoggis scenes we will have a chair and the laser light will be placed onto it and projected. For health and safety reasons we need to be extremely careful of laser machine and the wire. Both Poppy's laser cell and Galileo laser cell will be in the same place so we will not have to move the living around for this.

Scene 2 high school
Gaga kids speech needs to be rehearsed in time. Needs 'stage energy' not obvious energy as they are robots. Galileo and teachers blocking needs to be rehearsed as they are slightly wandering.
Somebody to love: teen queens and scaramouche hate each other this means they need to give reflect by showing resentment in their characterisation.

Scene 3 killer queen
Teen queens need to learn the words for the song more confidently. My choreography for the dance is really comingn together and the Yuppies have a good, strong entrance. We have not rehearsed Killer queens entrance on the push along stand so we will try this again today with the audience seating now out. The play the game choreography needs to be less awkward as it is improvised.

Scene 4 laser cell
Lines need to be rehearsed for timing.

Scene 5 police HQ
Bikini wax needs to be projected and timed correctly. 

Scene 6 the hospital
More nerves at beginning of the scene, as this is the first time Galileo and Scaramouche meet. Less at the end as they are starting to become comfortable with one another.

Scene 7 killer queens control room
Punch lines

Scene 8 a wasteland
Bigger entrance from Meat and Brit with more excitement when they find Galileo 'the dreamer'!

Scene 9 descent into the underground
All rush up to Galileo and Scaramouche on their entrance to the Heartbreak hotel with a lot more interaction.

Scene 10 the heartbreak hotel
Bohemians need to be quieter when Khashoggi enters and delivers lines, otherwise the lines are not heard.

Act 2 scene 1 wrecked car
One vision - Needs to be rehearsed!

No notes for Act 2 apart from the last scene which needs to be more Zombified. Heartbreak hotel props need clearing during the interval to show the change from Heartbreak Hotel to the seven seas of rhye (heartbreak hotel sign taken down and props cleared)

After this we went through a cue to cue run, which meant taking a slower more relaxed approach to the show and concentrating on sound, lighting and media support. Although we were all very impatient with this it was necessary to our performance as it meant we could get everything right for a full run through at a later date, and this way there would be less chance of things going wrong in the show. I felt the cue to cue was a big help for me as I was able to run some of my lines, even though I was not able to run them all I was able to rehearse the structure of the show, most importantly my movement for my songs, I knew which verse I would move and which staging id be using and when the lighting and sound would feature, also the extra time meant I could repeat my lines which helped me learn them much faster, the lighting als helped me and Millie finally establish our entry and exit points.
