Wail Story Notes

Hi everyone

We have broken down the music and texts for Wail into four parts. This is to help with memorizing and understanding the arc of the show. Right now, you should be actively memorizing Part 1 during your weekly practice, and be working on a solid understanding of the music for Part 2. This Sunday we will be running Part 1, and working on music and movement for Part 2.

*Note: anything that says “Joshua (text)” is spoken by Alan, the actor playing Joshua. You will be getting the text for Mermaid and Lost Autumn on Sunday.
