Script requests: Bye Bye Birdie Script!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!

(1/3) > >>

isha:
I already put this on the general board but I haven't gotten anything so I thought I'd try this one.

okay...so I really dislike the format that Bye Bye Birdie is in, and I was wondering if anybody has ever done this show and typed up the script for their use. If so can I have it....I'm a slow typist and I don't trust myself to type it up without mistakes. IF THERE IS ANY WAY I CAN GET AHOLD OF A DIFFERENT VERSION IT WOULD MAKE ME VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY HAPPY! I would like to paste the music into the script and if it's typed up somewhere out there that would work reall well.
^^^^^EXTREMELY DESPERATE!!!!!!!!!

Also, if anybody has any words of advice or suggestions for the show, I would love to hear them. I'm halfway done with plots, the show is cast, and we start rehearsals in 2 1/2 weeks.

Have you explored scanning it into word and then just proofing it?
that is what I tend to do.

I am a big fan of making a script/score that has everything to call the show from.  I dont use a score to take blocking notes unless its an opera becuase I find it makes the blocking script too thick.

But regardless make sure that your script/score combo is notated with the page numbers of the copy that the cast is using.  Otherwise it makes it really difficult.

mmmm... I thought about it, but my scanner is really bad.. I think I'll check and see if anyone I know has a nice scanner that won't turn things strange colors...thanks for the idea!

I was ASM for Bye Bye Birdie last year. It's lots of fun. We worked with kids mostly so it was very difficult. But the sets and props were easy and simple. We used risers downstage of the theatre esspecially for the big scenes. (lots of them). I'm telling you right now, the music will really get to you and by the end of your run you will never ever even THINK of listening to the music again. I had a blast I hope you do to!

HAH! The set easy!!! This show is VERY different from how you must have done it

our set designer went a little nuts (he's the director..)

I have my Q-to-Q on sat. and I have no idea how I'm going to make this work, 200 light q's (roughly), 16 mics going on and off constantly, and these massive rolling set pieces that turn or twist or combine to form different locations...all with no crew backstage crew. I have to use the actors which is definetly not something I WANT, but it's a necessity because 1) it's highschool theatre and we don't have anybody interested in technical theatre besides myself 2) there's hardly enough room backstage for the set pieces and actors, without even thinking about adding 2 more people much less the 7 it takes to move the rolling set piece.

I'm really nervous. I don't really feel up to this right now, I'm burnt out from schoolwork, and my last show (which really broke my spirit, everything about it was awful and nothing I did made the experience any better). I'm just so tired and the play has suffered because I haven't been on top of things as much as I would have liked...

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FEEL BURNT OUT? I'M JUST SOOOOO TIRED. I love stage managing, I'm just so....I don't know. Tired of something. Not in the sick-of-it way but in the burnt out, I-have-no-emotion-left-in-my-body way. I haven't even really cried at all.
Comfort?
