THE CHRISTMAS ROSE Carnegie Hall

[MatthewShiner]

So, my time off between legs of King Lear, I have been filling up with short gigs here and there.  A friend of mine, who assisted me on my last show, was commenting on how large this production has grown - the evening (one night only) involves 586 artists - not including Stage Management, Wranglers, Personal Assistants, etc . . . I offered to help out, and now I will be one the 2nds on deck.  I am eagerly seeking out assistant work to beef up that portion of my resume . . . It should be an adventure.  We are in the hall Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (a day I am pulling double duty), and then at Carnegie Hall on Thursday for final rehearsal and the event . . . orchestra, 120+ choir members, 150+ dancers = all on stage - luckily I have three days to recover before I start my next project!

Now THAT's a production!
I just did a show where we had 125 chorus members and 100 member orchestra. Can't imagine adding dancers to the mix.
How big is the orchestra?

[MatthewShiner]

Orchestra is 65
Boychoir is 34
4 Leaders (Conductors/Musical Directors)
1 Star
Master Choir is 90
Cast of performers (think actors/dancers) is 28
365 Kids make an entrance in the house
122 kids enter from the stage
