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!
