What is your weekly schedule like for the musical?

Our schedule is complicated. At the beginning of the musical we had practice starting from after school and ending at around 5 p.m. As we near towards the live show we have to rehearse a lot more often and stay after school until 9 p.m. The closer we get to our live show, the more tension rises within the cast and we practice our lines and acting more often.

Definitely The Wizard of Oz, its always been a fun musical to watch. Another one I enjoy is the musical Annie.
