~ Remarks~
This was the first time that I had worked on a two-person musical before. A great deal of the challenges stemmed from finding the balance between only two vocalists and a 3-piece band in such a small venue without vocal reinforcement. The balance was found largely thanks to a collaboration with the music director and scenic through the support of soft goods. The soundscape itself had to find a balance between immersing the audience and helping set the location of the show, as the physical set itself moreso aided with the memory play concept.
