We finished our time in the rehearsal hall with one last run through of the whole piece for the designers and production staff. As our Stage Manager said, it was so nice to see all the people that we will be spending the next week in the dark with (through the tech process) in the light! Having that group of people there gave the cast their first opportunity to really see how some of the material works with people - where people laugh, where people cry and the moments where everyone gets swept away with the music and the emotion. It also gave everyone the final confirmation that we have definitely outgrown the rehearsal hall!
Tonight is the sitzprobe. This will be the first chance for the cast to be with the full band - which in our chamber version consists of piano, harp, violin, cello and bass. Our music director has been telling us great things about them all week, so we can't wait to pair the live music withe the singing!
