- [00:00:00.162]♫ You got drip, drip, drop
- [00:00:01.461]♫ Drip drip drop
- [00:00:02.384]♫ Drip drip drop
- [00:00:03.725]♫ Drip drop tumble and roll
- [00:00:05.334]Tonight we are rehearsing Gumbo.
- [00:00:07.971](chorus singing)
- [00:00:11.430]Gumbo takes place in and during Hurricane Katrina,
- [00:00:15.027]in New Orleans, and it is the story
- [00:00:17.377]of Howard and Martha Hart getting married
- [00:00:19.605]and being ripped away from each other
- [00:00:21.397]on their wedding day by the devil.
- [00:00:23.600]♫ See this beautiful girl, who rules my world
- [00:00:27.126]So, I guess this is more we're honing it,
- [00:00:29.654]and like, really tightening all the parts.
- [00:00:32.893]♫ It's all about helping you help me
- [00:00:35.218]♫ That's opportunity
- [00:00:37.313]I think it's amazing that the Lied Center
- [00:00:39.204]is able to put these amazing things on,
- [00:00:42.696]and allow students like me,
- [00:00:45.657]with the amazing writers of the show, which is awesome.
- [00:00:50.472]♫ Home is where you know you feel love
- [00:00:55.317]I just feel like there's a real energy,
- [00:00:57.960]enthusiasm, and excitement about new work.
- [00:01:00.342]Clearly a passion for the students
- [00:01:02.500]as well as the theater community that exists here.
- [00:01:05.132]I have learned the process of how a musical gets done,
- [00:01:08.882]and it's once in a lifetime opportunity, honestly.
- [00:01:12.392]You spend years and years as a musical writer,
- [00:01:15.338]hearing all the characters in your head,
- [00:01:17.404]and it's so important as each draft comes out
- [00:01:19.523]that you can hear a new set of voices,
- [00:01:21.870]and every actor that puts their stamp or what not
- [00:01:25.149]on a role helps develop it and make it that much better.
- [00:01:27.845]♫ Yeah!
