On the first day of rehearsal, Feb. 14, cast members meet in the black box to discuss and go over character work. They also held auditions for what was coined “the most iconic role,” Milky White the Cow, who is Jack’s beloved cow, from the fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk. Students are excited to play the role since the cow is a favorite in the musical without even having any lines. Milky White was was chosen to be played by senior Harshini Bachu. “This is the first time we’re all here in the same room,” senior Anna Anderson, who plays the lead role as the Baker's Wife, said. “It’s kind of the first time we feel the energy of the cast and how it’s going to be for the next couple of months, which is really interesting.”
