DIRECTOR:

I videotaped the cast members dancing what had been choreographed today.  Does the Palace have a private YouTube channel or something similar where the cast can view the video and rehearse on their own?

Kudos to JB for a great job on accompaniment!

COSTUMES/MAKEUP:

We need rehearsal canes and hats for Men's Chorus, Women's Chorus, Z'Favorite, and the Show Girls.  We currently have enough for the Men's and Women's Choruses, but we will need eight more of each ASAP.  (I saw some awesome pieces of skinny PVC pipe over in the PEPC that would work well, if there aren't any more canes or cane-like items around.  [Can we use stuff from there?])  Mary Ellen says she thinks the Palace has a bunch of cowboy hats, but I was unable to find them.
