Today, Saturday, is our first day on our stage at New World Stages. New World is a really interesting underground complex of five Off-Broadway theatres near 50th St. and 8th Ave. It's certainly exciting to be working right here in the Broadway district on the show. The set is quite beautiful in the space, and I'm very eager to spend the next few days working out all the technical details. The cast was definitely ready to move uptown to the stage from our rehearsal hall in Chelsea. We did two very good full run throughs the last two days, so we all know the way through the show now.
Last year when we held our tech rehearsals for this show at New Rep we fell far behind our schedule due to some very strange computer glitches we experienced with our lighting system. Now, today, our poor Assistant Stage Manager has become so ill that she has had to be admitted to the hospital, so we're behind the eight ball already again. I'm beginning to wonder if tech problems are just inevitable for some reason with this show!
