74 Ze N o o n e w a s quite s u r e h o w t h i s y e a r ' s mu sic al was going to tu rn out. After two weeks o f c o n - t i n u 0 u s auditioning and learning scripts, the director, Mr. David-Michael Hall, decided to c h a n g e t h e musical Guys and Dolls to one that was more focused on the full cast. He could see that the people were more talented as in- dividuals than as a whole. We wanted to feature more people as soloists rather than in an ensemble. There was too much talent to hide in a big groupf' said Mr. Hall. After the new scripts arrived and the cast began learning the songs, faces began lighting up. Working was per- formed on Broadway in 1978. It told of the lives of different people, regular people, that receive the credit they really deserve. The songs and words were taken directly from the persons interviewed which definitely put a big impact on the audience. I think we really got to the audience towards the end. After doing the show, I fell a lot different towards the characters, said Annette Mor- row fseniorl. 30 Design by Dana Mitchell The major point that the cast wanted to put across was to have the .X , .

They wanted to show how impor- tant the cleaning lady, the housewife, the steelworker, the teacher, etc. really are. This was one musical that stayed with the audience as they left. Besides being a form of entertainment, it was a learning experience. It made a lot of people realize that the people we take for granted are the ones who are the most important in our lives, the ones that deserve to be heard. The feelings and emotions came through. The cast talked to the au- dience, they became one. The last song of the musical brought the characters t o g e t h e r a n d showed the pur- pose for the per- f o r m a n c e .
