“I had a video to work off of so I had to reverse engineer a rose off the video. I found out using magnets and fishing line that I could run the fishing line down the stem of the rose down into the base of it,” said Reese.



The rose is connected to a remote control that’s operated by Aidan Rohl during the musical.



"There's this airplane remote with a throttle that drops petals and buttons that drops petals," said Aidan.



He has to make sure he drops them in the right order, so the rose petals don’t get stuck to the magnets.

Melissa says the technological rose made the set bloom.



"When I saw that first petal drop I was completely floored. I didn't think it would look as amazing as it did, nor did I think I would be able to see it from the back of the theater. But the audience collectively gasped. It was very cool," said Melissa.
