have been in a haze these past five days. fever, weirdness, coughing. felt somewhat better yesterday, better this morning, so I went to work. gonna go home. can't lie down too much at one time, though--it hurts. Plus, I have these strange Quixote half-dreams. I'm already rehearsing the show in my head and the songs are playing constantly in the background.
I found a book by Dale Wasserman, author of Man of La Mancha, called THE IMPOSSIBLE MUSICAL. Full of interesting tidbits and insight in between doses of Wasserman's incredible ego.
Watched Peter O'Toole in the film version. Listened to Keith Michell in the London Original Cast recording, replete with dialogue. I'll take what I can use and then not consult them again. Talked to Thom/Sean and got a few pointers from his point of view--makeup will be tricky. Many questions....and I don't start rehearsals for two months yet!
