I'm doing a concert version of WAITRESS on Friday, and I'm singing Earl. I'm gonna take you through my prep process this week.

Rest of the week is
M - music only, think about the words during day, images, identity of Earl
T - Words and music together
W - Words and music together deepening images, noticing questions that come up, layering in character memory related to the mages, off book
Th - Ready for rehearsal, off book
