James is in Music Man at Rodgers Memorial Theater. The show runs from July to Aug 28 but was extended because of sell out audiences to Aug 31st.
James was rehearsing almost every night through June and July and loving every minute of it.
James' character's name is Marcus and he is in the Monday, Wednesday, Friday cast.
One of the fun things about the show is the costuming. At the beginning of the show, all the costumes are black and white. As Harold Hill casts his spell on the "Stubborn Iowans" in River City, the costumes become more and more colorful. In the finale, the band costumes and all the colorful costumes prove that Harold Hill really did change the "River City-iziens' " lives.
When we watched the show, Rick said that the band uniforms that the boys' band wears are the same uniforms that he wore when he marched with the University of Utah Band back in his college days.
On the first day of the show, James did the suggested hairstyle (slicked back tight on top and curled up on the sides). We did the hairstyle, but were unsure if we had the right look. When the director saw his hair on the first night, she (as well as other cast members) said that they loved it and he would have to wear it that way every night! His head is getting tougher as I style it with gel and other products and blowdry it with a round brush every other day.
The Davis County Clipper published an article about the show and talked about James' cast.
