We'll I've been given an additional part in the musical. Now I'm the ship's purser. I'm happy about the part, not so much because of the role itself (although the character should be a lark). I'm happy about getting to rehearse with the rest of the cast. Being in the chorus is fun, but now I'm able to enjoy the dual experiences of rehearsing with the chorus and rehearsing with the title characters (without the responsibility of a major role). I couldn't be happier.
The character is the straight man for lots of the musical's gags. He wears big round glasses and carries a clipboard. Throughout the play, he darts in and out of the different doors on stage, like a cuckoo clock birdie. In one scene, he calls the passengers to dinner by sounding a gong. And he even gets to trumpet, "All ashore that's going ashore." I've always wanted to say that. Haven't you?
