d. Choreography i. For this show it’s decent. It has some memorable numbers such as the hand jive,

but the number for “Greased Lightning” could be awesome. e. Problems with the show:

B.) Anything Goesa. Large Cast

i. Passengersii. Crew

iii. Leadsb. Big Aspect

i. I’m not sure what the big aspect of this show could be.c. Costumes

i. 1920’s. Flapper outfits, ascots, sailors uniformsd. Choreography

i. TAP.e. Problems with this show

i. There are a bunch of revivals for this show. One in particular takes Moonface Martin out of the show completely. It doesn’t make much sense to me why they would do that. However, Tap Dancing isn’t easy, and isn’t easy to teach in two months.

C.) Anniea. Large Cast
