Hi Broadway, it's your Broadway BFF Ben Cameron

I'm here today with Dance Captain from Something Rotten, Eric Giancola. That's me

We're just doing a little light stretching before we learn some Something Rotten choreography

So I was saying earlier to Eric, I don't think I have the capacity in my brain

to do what a dance captain does. Is there a very special skill that comes with being able

to keep all of that information knowing every single step for every single character straight in your mind? Yeah

I think first of all you could totally But you flatter. But everybody has it

It's a matter of turning it on, I think. Really? It's not a skill you use in everyday life

So it's about opening that door in your brain. And yeah. Can you help me with that thing

And then, um, you know, just allowing yourself to cram it all in there. Yeah
