All done bar the dress
Apr. 3rd, 2006 07:55 amWe had the band call and tech rehearsal for the show yesterday.
The band call (the first time you hear the orchestra) was great - it really helps lift the spirits and make you feel like you have a proper show.
Unfortunately the tech. rehearsal always makes you feel the opposite. Lots of stops and starts, tempers get a bit frayed, you never get done everything you want to, but you do find out what scene changes are problematical - which is a few at the moment. They'll be sorted for tonight though.
I've not had enough sleep though! We didn't get out of the theatre until 11pm, so we didn't get to bed until close to midnight, and back up just after 6am for work. And I've been wearing my contacts for rehearsals so my eyes are a bit tired. Still, I'm only working this morning and tomorrow morning and the rest of the week is off.
