In my ten years of directing GMCW I don't think I have ever had so much fun watching our guys rehearse as I am watching our young and talented Grease cast. At our last rehearsal I looked at the cast and realized that all ten principal roles are being played by singers who have joined the Chorus in the last three years. They are talented, energetic, and 100 percent invested in Grease. And it is such a healthy signal that GMCW is growing and thriving.
Our stage director John Moran and our choreographer Craig Cipollini are doing a fabulous job with the cast. Our singer-actor-dancers are inhabiting their roles - it is such a joy to see.
Our fully-staged productions are one of the reasons that GMCW stands out from every other gay chorus. We're the only ones who do it. And it isn't easy. Every Saturday a group of guys goes to our set building shop to construct and paint sets. Other members are shopping and sewing and ironing costumes under the guidance of Gary Turner, our director of fabulosity.
Thousands and thousands of man-hours are going into this production - I know it will all be worth it when the lights go down and the curtain comes up for the RYDELL HIGH ALMA MATER.
