Our first rehearsal went off well yesterday, with much excitement among the talented group of actors and musicians assembled in the choir room of St Paul's. I stayed behind to record the songs, which will hopefully make them easier to learn. There was an interesting discussion about what accent was appropriate for a work set in the 19th century, converted into a musical by two 20th century Brits, and soon to be performed by an assortment of Americans. Does anyone have any suggestions?
