Little Shop Of Horrors – Production 2023
🥀Little Shop Little Shop of Horrors 🥀
I started this journey in August, as a new student I wanted to be included in this year’s musical. A great way to get to know people more was presented in front of me and I did not hesitate one bit! Having had previous musical experience from my last school (UNIS) this was a great opportunity for me to share my past knowledge and provide insightful observations and ideas to help make the production even better.
When I auditioned dates were published I was nervous because I didn’t know either Mr. Kim or Ms. Jackson, I spent the week practicing “Suddenly Seymour” a love song that Audrey and Seymour sing. I went to my audition and told both of them that I didn’t mind what character I got and that I was just hoping to be in the play. I was very nervous when singing and did not do my best but that did not hold me down. Then a week later the roles had been published, I had gotten an ensemble, and I was so happy and ready to start rehearsal the next Monday. If I had to be honest I was very nervous first rehearsal as I didn’t know anyone and I was a bit scared of Ms. Jackson (I am sorry Ms. Jackson if you reading this I truly like you!). Well, that’s beside the point… as rehearsals began I got to know a lot of people better like Akhil, Sofia, and Naomi as well as Anais who I was best friends with by the end of the show! Rehearsals got more cramped and before I knew it it was show time. We had the Wednesday before to go for a full run-through of the show, which took up the entire school day and I was so proud of the entire production team for working their best and hardest to make sure that this would be an amazing show. Our work all paid off, other than having the satisfaction of finally completing all performance days. I wish we would be able to have another production after this one as it was so much fun I would want to do it 100 times again.
