Rehearsal???
Last night was a run through of the show with ALL the swing characters in at once. All went quite well. We also had the variable of the new music director leading us and the orchestra basically for the first time in a run through. He's done a few songs here and there and has watched, but it's not the same as doing it with all the sound cues etc. That being said, all went well. There were a few scary spots and at one point the camera that is on the conductor's hand for us to watch on screen went down, but even that was ok! No one was hurt! 
We were at first under the impression that a few people were invited to watch our rehearsal, but it ended up that it was the corporate donors that were attending. 150 people! A little more than expected, but it was good to do the run in front of an audience.
The next few performances are previews which is always a helpful tool to not only get used to the new cast members but also to see what does and doesn't work in the space with people in the seats.
