Yesterday was our long day of rehearsal where we teched the show from 11am to 4pm then did a dress rehearsal for one cast at 6pm and the second cast did a run thru with no costumes. No they weren't naked. They were in street clothes. Today we do two dress rehearsals. Our costumers have done a heroic job and the characters look fantastic.
Yesterday's work was awe inspiriing. The cast that dresssed rose to the occasion and did amazing work. The cast that did not dress took things to new heights and was phenomenal. Everyone really turned the burners on full and the show was wonderful.
Tonight I have the unenviable decision of deciding which group performs on our opening night on Saturday. Hearts will be broken and their will be disappointment. But unfortunately, that's show biz. We'll make those announcements at the conclusion of rehearsal tonight. Tomorrow we are off for Thanksgiving Day and then resume on Friday with two dress rehearsals. Then Saturday each team has one preview performane. I can't wait to unveil the show to the public on Saturday.
