The Meek shall inherit

Today we worked on the number "meek shall inherit" which is the whole of scene 2 and when Seymour is offered multiple contracts with companies for Audrey II so has to decide if he should keep killing for fame or stop which mentioned giving up everything. 
For the number we have the urchins, Seymour and Bernstein on stage right as Bernstein sings to him about being in a TV program. When the chorus starts with "they say the meek shall inherit" we have all moved into a lines of 3 centre stage we then do a finger bounce followed by pretending to open a book on the second line "you know the book doesn't lie". On the next line we move towards Seymour (stage left) and in groups we raise our arms on either "demand" or "supply. We then wiggle our finger at Seymour and then push our head in on the line "you're a meek little guy". On the last part we move away back to what we were doing before, Bernstein then freezes as the urchins push Seymour towards the next agent Mrs. Luce who is played by a boy and very flamboyant, she works for life magazine and tries to get Seymour to have pictures for a article. We then repeat the chorus with only difference being that we move right in steady of left when heading towards Seymour. Mrs Luce then freezes as skip snip enters, another agent who wants Seymour on lecturing tours. After he has sung Seymour steps forward as everyone freezes and he sings. All the agents unfreeze after Seymour finishes his solo during a slower version of the chorus and we all moved into a triangle shape for a slow step and click until the last part which is "you know the Meeks are gonna get what's coming to 'em"  three times in which we all point in one of 3 directions given to us on each one of the lines until the end of the song.
