Encore!
Mon, 24 June 2002, 02:48 pmThis has been argued countless times before but sod it, I'm still asking.
Who decides whether or not to have a "Curtain Call" or "Encore" as some would say?
I've had countless answers such as :
-->The conductor (usually also the MD) decides
-->The Stage Manager decides
-->The guy/gal pulling the curtains back and forth decides
-->The cast decide
: these decisions, of course, are based on how rowdy/quiet the audience has/have been.
Any more answers or arguments against the 'choices' mentioned? I can't make up my mind....

Mon, 24 June 2002, 05:54 pmFrom my (limited) experience, we folk at Roleystone in Regards to Broadway had a curtain call almost every single night - I think that decision came from the directors and MD based on the audiences that we seen on the first two nights. They also decided which song we were going to sing for it; one night we sang something out of the first act as opposed to the closing number: the cast were told what to do and we did it.
Apart from that, that's all I know.
