Please read!!



  • Chorus members need to sing louder in “What You Want”
  • More seriousness needed, actors appear to be talking and laughing on stage when they should be acting
  • Oohing in “love” (after What You Want) needs to be louder
  • After “Welcome to Harvard” chorus needs to sing louder
  • Harvard Students need to sing louder.
  • ALL CAST MEMBERS NEED TO WORK ON CHARACTERIZATION!!!
  • More maturity needed with rehearsals, members don't appear to take things seriously . Your show is very soon-NO TALKING, KNOW YOUR LYRICS/MUSIC!
  • Chris Microphone needs adjusting
  • Courtney needs more diction
  • Microphones need to be muted when characters walk off stage
  • People cannot be seen moving around on stage when they are not supposed to be on stage.
  • People look tired
  • More smiles needed
  • More enthusiasm-ENERGY!!!
  • No talking in the auditorium
  • People need to pay attention to know when to come in.
  • Chorus needs to sing louder in “Harvard is the perfect place for me”
  • Maggie needs to have more girly girl in her voice
  • Henry needs to sing louder in the shark song
  • People in "Blood in the Water" need to react more to everything.
  • Leaning in "Blood in the Water" needs to be more pronounced
