Closing Show
Wow! Great show! Let's finish up strong!
We've gotten just a little lazy with getting moving upon arrival. Saturday, call was at 1:00. At 1:15, there were still people arriving, or hanging outside talking, and we could not do mic checks at 1:30, because so many people still did not have their mics on. At 1:45, we still did not have everyone.
Sunday, here's the drill:
Call is at 1:00. We cannot arrive early, but you should not arrive late, either. IF YOU MUST ARRIVE LATE because of church, you MUST call!! Teri's number is 832-630-2185, and Hannes' number is 281-467-0840, and Kaitlyn's number is 713-725-2433. If you are late, be aware that you are late, and come in without messing around, move quickly, get dressed, and if applicable get mic'd.
Mic check for all candy kids and Candyman will be at 1:30. We will run the Candyman song, and then you will hand off your mics to the leads.
Mic check for all leads will be at 1:45, and all leads will be in costume at the time. We need time to make sure the cord is in good condition, with no crackling no matter how you move.
2:00 We will run the finale
AFTER THE SHOW IS STRIKE
We will have assigned roles for everyone. For the younger Oompa Loompas, the biggest thing is for EVERYONE to get your dressing area completely cleaned up. Please don't make other people have to clean up your stuff. We do not need little ones hanging out in the audience or under foot while moving heavy set pieces.
For everyone else, after the show is the time to help strike, (not primp for the cast party or sit around talking). We will have to clean the other two dressing rooms, the backdrop, lighting equipment, props to box up, set pieces to disassemble. The truck needs to be loaded up and taken to Woodedge and unloaded before cast party so that we can return the truck. Hannes will have a list of things to do. When everyone helps, it all happens very quickly. Let's end strong and all of us give a good show of teamwork. We have been known to descend on a set and have it cleared in an hour.
MODEST swimwear is required if you are planning on swimming at the cast party. Girls, most of your suits will require a tshirt over them.
Here is a note we got from a patron after Saturday's show:
I just returned from seeing the 3pm Willy Wonka show, and I just have to tell you how wonderful I felt the show was. I couldn't believe that the cast was mostly children, they were remarkable! I brought my five year old daughter to see the show, and I was amazed and so thrilled to see her face just glowing and smiling through the entire show. It was a very magical day, and I want to thank you so very much.
My family frequently visits the theatre (and in this economy we've really had to cut back), however, this show was to be an introduction to my youngest daughter to see if we could take her with us in the future. I was so impressed and will be purchasing seats to every show now. I'm so pleased that we can now afford to take our entire family of five to see such high quality shows, and without driving too far or causing so much financial hardships. Thank you for such a high quality performance.
Thanks, everyone, for being such a blessing to this family and so many others!

Schedule for Friday
5:30 Call (We are allowed to enter at 5:00. If you are a principal dancer, and you felt rushed on Thursday, you may want to come a little early) Everyone please come in and get dressed, makeup on, and get your microphone on. You might be able to proceed directly to mic testing.
6:00 SHARP - All principal dancers on stage, along with any other young adults strong enough to move set pieces(Tjade, Caroline, David B). We will move from the end of each Oompa Loompa dance/song, to actually physically moving the set pieces to their places in the next scene. (see scene changes at the bottom of this email)
Also at 6:00 in front of closed grand: mic testing begins.
6:45 SHARP - All squirrels and oompa loompa squirrel guards on stage. We need to practice putting buckets of nuts into the chute and pressing "good nut" and "bad nut" buttons, and having someone (Peter?) taking buckets of nuts off and returning empty buckets. At the end of the scene, squirrels run off to stage right to sing Oompa Loompa song. THEN go back and grab your buckets and exit.
7:00 Set stage for Act I. - help is welcome.
7:30 House Opens - Those wearing mics report to Wyatt to POWERLOCK ALL MICS ON - Please be quiet on stage from this time on - NO TALKING - and if someone tries to remind you that you're making too much noise, please respectfully stop talking.
7:40 - OPENING NIGHT CIRCLE. This is a time of encouragement. Please be thinking of someone you'd like to recognize for being an encouragement to you and for making the show fun for you. Circle is for everyone - we're all part of a great big team with one united goal: to put on a fabulous show that rocks their socks off! (please remember if someone causes you stress that it's not purposeful, and we're all on the same team)
8:00 Overture begins.
Act II Scene Changes:
Act II begins with the chocolate room preset, with 12' door and 8' door on SR, 12' white wall UL, and 8 foot door SL.
After Oompa Loompa I, move off the "candy hills" and then go to triangle units to get ready to turn.
Drop will rise just as someone in the boat says "Where are you taking us?", lights black out and projection and music begin. Those not dancing or involved in boat begin to turn triangle units to 12' white and 8' inventing room on SL and SR. (or if you have a break in the dancing, turn your set piece) Jacobs twins can turn set pieces when song starts and then get blueberry ready.
After Oomopa Loompa II, move and turn triangle units to 8' white and 12' bubbles on SR and SL
After Burping Song, move and turn triangle units to squirrel formation and bring in the chute.
After Oompa Loompa III, remove chute, move units to 8' whites on SR, with TV between them, and 12' whites on SL with only 2 feet between them, and folded black curtain on floor. Mid closed. During scene, curtain comes up, lights strobe, Mike Teavee EXITS, and then curtain drops.

EVERYONE LOOKED GREAT LAST NIGHT! We just need to get the final touches to make this show blow everyone's socks off.
The main thing I noticed was HAIR. I saw MANY people who hadn't done anything to their hair. YOU WILL STAND OUT IF YOU DO NOT FIX YOUR HAIR. The costumes will look completely off if everyone's hair isn't done.
PLEASE GO ALL OUT ON YOUR HAIR! PLEASE FIX IT BEFORE YOU ARRIVE TONIGHT AND BEFORE EVERY SHOW. I heard there was people going into the dressing rooms to use the mirrors to do their hair, and we really don't have time or space for that. People running around causes too much stress. The only thing that shouldn't be done is your makeup and putting your costume on.
Jeah's hair looked GREAT, and Bryn's hair was GREAT. I'm not sure of other's names, but I want all the girls looking like this.
Guys if you have short hair, it's pretty easy to make it look crazy. Thanks!
Richard Hanh - please add some snow white or silver grey to your hair. You need to look older!
David Chrisman - It probably wouldn't hurt to do your temples, or what shows under the hat.
Guys, please bring belts if you need them.
Anyone who is bringing parts of their costumes (Candy Kids, ETC). PLEASE BRING IT! If you show up and you forgot it, there's not much I can do.
J. Blanchard - What I meant last night about your pants: They look great, I just noticed they were a little long. I might be able to hem them before tomorrow if I can. But you looked AWESOME! love the hair.
Chesnay - Please wear brighter sneakers. If you don't have them, I bought several pairs of neon laces you can use.
Thanks everyone! This show will be great. I'll be there tonight early to make sure everyone's dressed.

Lighting Note to Principal Dancers and Oompa Loompas
For your entrances on every Oompa Loompa number, we will provide a brief light cue with a little light on the side aisles and black light on stage BEFORE the music starts. Move quickly, but SAFELY please. One little oompa loompa taking a tumble on the stairs can cause the entire line to go down like dominos....! The lights will go up as soon as Principal Dancers are in place and music will start at the same time. Lights will probably not wait for every single Oompa Loompa to be in place. Oompa Loompas should continue to sing and move into place if you're not quite there yet.
Also, if you are staged to come in from the back of the audience on some of the Oompa Loompa numbers, you get there by QUIETLY going as a group down the hallway and up the stairs that come through the entrance doors into the theatre. Split into your groups on each side of the audience but stay back and stay quiet! It echoes in there, so you can't say anything or you give away the surprise!

Oompa Loompa Songs
Oompa Loompa 1:
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Doo!
I've got a perfect puzzle for you!
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Dee!
If you are wise, you'll listen to me!
What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?
Eating as much as an elephant eats!
What are you at getting terribly fat?
What do you think will come of that?
I don't like the look of it!
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Da
If you're not greedy, you will go far!
You will live in happiness too!

Oompa Loompa 2:
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Do!
I've got another puzzle for you!
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me!
Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while!
It's stops you from smoking and brightens your smile.
But it's repulsive, revolting, and wrong
Chewing and chewing all day long
The way that a cow does.
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Da
Given good manners, you will go far!
You will live in happiness too!
Like the Oompa Loompa Doom-Pa-Dee-Do!
Oompa Loompa 3:
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Do
I've got a perfect puzzle for you!
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me!
Who do you blame when your kid is a brat?
Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese Cat.
Blaming the kid is a lie and a shame!
You know exactly who's to blame!
The mother and the father!
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Da
If you're not spoiled then you will go far
You will live in happiness too!
Like the Oompa Loompa Doom-Pa-Dee-Do!
Oompa Loompa 4:
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Do
I've got another puzzle for you!
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me!
What do you get froma glut of T.V.?
A pain in the neck, and an I.Q. of three!
Why don't you try simply reading a book?
Or could you just not bear to look?
You'll get no...
You'll get no...
You'll get no...
You'll get no commercials!
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Da
Turn off the T.V. and you'll be a star!
You will live in happiness too!
Like the Oompa Loompa Doom-Pa-Dee-Do!
Oompa Loompa 5:
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Do
I've got a final puzzle for you!
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me!
There is a problem with lots of our youth!
Not ev'rybody likes telling the truth!
Telling the truth starts a beautiful buzz!
Isn't it nice when someone does?
It could be contagious!
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Doo!
I've got a perfect puzzle for you!
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Dee!
If you are wise, you'll listen to me!
What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?
Eating as much as an elephant eats!
What are you at getting terribly fat?
What do you think will come of that?
I don't like the look of it!
Oompa-Loompa-Doom-Pa-Dee-Da
If you're not greedy, you will go far!
You will live in happiness too!
Like the Oompa Loompa Doom-Pa-Dee-Do!

I've Got A Golden Ticket Lyrics
CHARLIE:
I never thought my life could be
Anything but catastrophe!
But suddenly I begin to see
A bit of good luck for me!
'Cos I've got a golden ticket!
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye!
I never had a chance to shine
Never a happy song to sing
But suddenly half the world is mine
What an amazing thing!
'Cos I've got a golden ticket!
I've got a golden sunup in the sky!
(dialogue)
ALL:
Boy what a day to be alive
Now golden ticket number five
Is right here! In the palm of your hand!
Boy what a day to celebrate!
Boy what a day to label great!
When every dream that you ever planned's
Comin' into land!
Don't it beat the band?

Golden Age of Chocolate Lyrics
CAROLINE:
Once upon a choc'late time
A long, long choc'late time ago
The golden age of choc'late began.
WONKA:
I know 'cos I was there.
JESSIE:
When it comes to choc'late
He's a many flavored man, you know
'Cos that's the age of choc'late that he ran
ALL:
With oh such style and flair!
And the golden age of choc'late
Has lasted all these years
The golden age of choc'late that every child reveres
WONKA:
But soon I'll be retiring
To make way for someone new
Some brght spark I'll be hiring
But who?
ALL:
But who?
But who?
But who?
WONKA:
Whatever your opinion is about me
The choc'late world could not survive without me!
There'd be no more
Choc'late ripples
Or choc'late tipples
Choc'late ruffles
Or choc'late truffles
Choc'late kisses
For you young misses
Soft and creamy
Completely dreamy
Or choc'late ices
'Cos choc'late crisis
Will grow and grow and grow!
WONKA: OOMPAS:
The day that I retire, I know! The day that he retires, we know!
ALL:
No, no, no ,no!
No, Willy Wonka just can't go!
GROUP 1: GROUP 2:
There'd be no more
Choc'late squiggles
Or choc'late giggles No more giggles
Or choc'late whirlies
Or choc'late swirlies No more swirlies
Choc'late twirlies
For all you girlies No more twirlies
Choc'late bagels
Or choc'late bugles No more bugeles
Or choc'late bubbles
'Cos choc'late troubles Choc'late's troubles
ALL:
Will grow and grow and grow!
The day that he retires, we know!
No, no, no, no!
No, Willy Wonka just can't go!
WONKA:
'Cos the golden age of choc'late
Has lasted all these years
The golden stage of choc'late
That ev'ry child reveres
ALL:
There's a golden page of choc'late hist'ry
We must write somehow
For the golden age of choc'late
To make life sweeter now!

Arrival time
Just a reminder for the eager and ambitious: Our earliest arrival time at Berry Center is 5:30, and we cannot allow one person in earlier. They usually don't mind if people are waiting in the loading area until 5:30, but no one can go to dressing rooms or onto the stage or we get charged extra. Dancers should arrive at 5:30 and begin rehearsing. We will start mic'ing other people and mic the dancers last. Call for other actors is 6:00. We must be out of the building tonight by 10:30. Our goal is to be done well before that, but if we put in a couple longer nights tonight and tomorrow, then Thursday basically runs like a show and then we go home. Berry Center personnel were pretty impressed with how well the rehearsal went and how quickly everyone picked up and vacated the building.
A safety note: Do NOT just run outside and sit alone somewhere if your parents are not there yet. Stay with the director, stage manager, or artistic director until you are picked up. We will wait until everyone is gone. Parents should all be there no later than 10:00 tonight.
