So much time and so little to do...... Strike that, reverse it.

We're pushing forward, ever forward. Still having great rehearsals, lots of progress, people are having fun. And we start feeling really good. And yet there's still so much to do. Like Sunday, for example. Sunday will be the first time that the entire cast and band will actually be together. Meaning that scenes and songs that have not been learned by all involved (due to the impossibility of 14 actors' schedules actually lining up ideally all week) will have to be touched up Sunday morning. And then the two acts' finales are to be learned. And then, for the first time, we'll run the show. A stop and start run to be sure, and a long day (to be more sure.)

The point here is that as we're all getting to learn more and more of the show, we all start seeing so much more in it, and it gets us all the more excited. So much so that we have to remind ourselves it's just a reading that's happening in less than 5 days, and that we've just not the time to do it all.

The whole group has sorta developed this common joke we use as we talk about how we see a scene or a song playing out: "Well, in the magical super Broadway production, I'd......".

And boy, do we all long for that production. First things first, sure. But that excitement sure is nice to see, even for a reading. Maybe especially for a reading.
