Today we started working on the act I finale which is a musical number between Seymour and Orin which leads to Irons death. The whole chorus is on stage sat as if were in a waiting room for a visit to the dentist, we are sat in a V shape with Seymour at the point of the V to show that this is the dental room. All the chorus are holding either a newspaper or magazine while on stage as it is needed for the dance we have learned. In time with the tune of the song we turn a page of the newspaper/magazine, lift it over our face then wave it to the left as our head turns right. We then do this a second time but instead we wave the newspaper/magazine to the right and turn our head left. There is then a break in the music followed by a beat which clues us in to lift our magazine over our face and lift our shoulders up and down like were laughing. Seymour and Orin now talk for a while until Orin starts to sing, while he is singing we all while on our chairs start to lean forward and backward twice then right to left twice in time with the beat so we start slow but get faster until he stops singing which is where we lift our newspaper/magazine over our face again while moving our shoulders. Seymour starts to to sing as we repeat a movement the has us extend our right leg then left then bring both legs back in, turn a page of our newspaper/magazine and then turn right, we repeat this until Seymour is done singing and Orin starts to sing. When Orin sings we start the rocking forward and backward again until the last beat of the song in which we al pretend to take big breaths as we flop down on our seats like were dead
