    I would love to get feedback from anyone who has directed Amalie.  Was your ensemble happy with their part, did your students enjoy it?  Audience

    I cannot recommend this musical strongly enough.  It was one of the most beautiful, fun, and fulfilling musical theatre experiences for myself and my students.  It is a lovely way to tell a relatable story. I miss the show and the cast almost daily.  I hope you do the play.  I am trying to attach photos, but they won't.  I'll try to send to your email.

    I have a cast of 40.  There seem to be no dance numbers. Is there enough to keep everyone busy and engaged?

    I've done it once before and am directing it again currently. My current students are really enjoying the challenge of the music and working as an ensemble. Last time I did the show, we tried accents and I think it was hard for the audience to connect until act two. This time we are doing it without accents and I still think it comes across just fine! It is a beautiful piece of theatre.
