Learning lines

Still feeling really excited about Oklahoma and have started looking through the script. Michael had a read-through of Act I with me this evening (my American accent needs a lot more work!). My friend Jenny recorded the read-through of the last show we did onto CD which really helped with learning the lines – I kept the CD in the car and listened to it when I was stuck in traffic jams which meant that by the time acting rehearsals started six weeks into rehearsals, I’d learnt most of Act I (clearly I spend a lot of time in traffic jams!!).
