I've said that one of the many wonders of double-casting is that you suddenly have an evil twin that understands, takes your side, and just gets any weird dark joke you make about your character (Well, maybe that's just Elena and I.)
Evil twins however, don't last for long after rehearsals start and people start getting split up in every combination possible. As much as I would love to have a Stereo / Diplopia performance [where characters come in doubles like in some weird B-movie], that will -most likely- not be the case for this production. *Sigh*
Nonetheless, there are interesting moments that can only occur between two human beings set to play the same character on-stage.
CUT TO: Exhibit A.
While waiting to start the full sing-through of Sweeney I bumped into Evil-Twin Anthonys dividing their songs for the occasion. Far from limiting themselves to ACT I Vs. ACT II, they just went song by song using a classic technique.
Upon seeing such event, I just had to request a re-enactment to share.
(Is it wrong that I love their quick response to my "Do it!"? I wonder for what else that may work... [Insert evil laugh])
