Opening/Closing Cast and Costume Shoes

Hello All!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week 3 of rehearsals!  Less than 30 days until showtime! I apologize for this email being sort of lengthy, but it contains information about both opening/closing cast performances and about shoes for both choruses.  Hopefully this will clarify some still lingering questions :)

Both the main chorus and the orphan chorus will be in all performances.  For people that are double-cast, the dates which each person performs are listed below.

Chorus Shoes

For the orphans, Brian would like something like this:

 

The shoes would need to be distressed big time. The color does not matter, and it also does not matter if they are high tops, low tops, or a low boot. The messier the better.

 

Annie will need black patent leather Mary Janes for the Warbucks scenes.

 

The adults need either character or dress shoes in black. For Hooverville, adults need beat-up work boots, goloshes, shoes with holes in them, shoes that are too big. . . you get my drift. They should go crazy at a thrift store or get old shoes from around the house and beat them up.

 

No dance shoes on any orphans. No jazz shoes on any of the adults. They are wrong for the show unless they beat up a pair for Hooverville. Also, I don't want anyone spending a ton of money on special shoes. There is no need to. If the adults don't have character shoes, then black dress shoes are fine. Ladies should have a 2" heel. Men should not. :-)

Please let me know if you have any questions, and have a wonderful rest of week 3!
