Taking a chance

Last night I did a daring thing, for me, and took a stab at staging the finale. There were two reasons for this--one, to save time in our allotted time with Suzy for the longer, more dancelike pieces, and two, because I thought I had an idea or two and thought it would be a good exercise for me. I'm not totally happy with how it looks, but I'll tweak it and then show it to Suzy. And even if she completely throws it out, at least we will have given her something to work with. Suzy has appreciated the groundwork we've laid for all the musical numbers, which has enabled her to start at a point more advanced than square one.
