Musical Improv Games - Opening Numbers

Picture

Good for:

Getting your musical off to a great start. High energy group numbers. Passing lines. Negotiating turns.

Method:

  • The location or title of the musical is given
  • The opening number will usually be a verse chorus song
  • Everyone should be on stage and there should be plenty of movement
  • In the verses, focus should be given to the singer
  • Verses can be passed or shared
  • The chorus should be simple and repeatable
  • Must have a big finish

Tips:

  • You can set a structure beforehand or improvise it each time
  • Try to keep the stage picture moving
  • The verses should be generic - not the time for plot or character
  • You all feel the same about who you are and how you feel
