I could use a bit of help from experienced musical SMs. I have only done straight plays in the last ten years, but I just finished the first week of rehearsals for "Altar Boyz." As far as doing my job goes, it's like I never left muscials; I've got it all under control. My cast, director, music director and choreographer are all GREAT to work with. And, I'm actually really digging the show, which is a pleasant surprise to me, as a Catholic Boy Band is not exactly what usually floats my boat.
I only have one problem, which I had forgottten about from my previous experience. THE SHOW MUSIC WON'T GET OUT OF MY HEAD! Any single second in time that I'm not listening to something else, the music just loops in my brain. It's keeping me up at night! In the car, I can listen to audio books, and when I'm home, I listen to the radio or have the TV on in the background, but when bed time comes around, I can't do anything: my husband needs quiet to sleep. I've tried sleeping with my iPod on, and it worked but I nearly strangled myself on the headphone cord.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to exorcise the soundtrack from my poor brain until I need it? I'll try (nearly) anything at this point; I NEED to get some sleep.
