You guys did a great job last night....I know there were technical issues as we completely expect but than you so much for being patient and going with the flow!!!! The show is looking great especially for our first dress!!!
The union crew has asked that the cast move (walk not run) fast when entering and exiting....especially exiting....they do not want to hit anyone with the rails.
As you can see we have space constraints in this beautiful theater. Please keep your spirit up...negativity and complaining spread like wild fire!!!!!
Tonight we meet right at 6 sharp in the house. You can get in the building beginning at 5 again however DO NOT CROSS OR GO ONTO THE STAGE. Use the stage L stairs to enter the house ONLY...You can use either stage left or right though when getting on stage during the run of the show...whichever is the side you are suppose to enter on. You may only enter and exit the building at the one door by the security guard...do not exit at alley gate or roll up door please.
Please get there early enough to validate parking before you come in. If you can get as much makeup and hair done before you come that is way helpful!!!
Tuesday's rehearsal went much better than anticipated and largely in part to your patience. Please remember all parts, pieces, tights, eyelashes, wig caps, bobby pins and anything else you may need!!!!
