Rehearsals are going well... a little creatively chaotic (after all we have a fairly difficult 2-hour play with original songs to rehearse in five sessions - you have to admire these guys for their enthusiasm, talent and efficiency!).
It seems that the ideas and tableaux in the play seem largely to be borne up in rehearsal, and as always there are hundreds of deeper things there in the script that make it funner and funner to work with as you rehearse - some of these are intentional and some, at least overtly, not.
But it's apparent there's a static block of a scene sitting in the middle of Act II... so I've now cut another character (Donna Morgan) and am back to my writing room to completely rewrite that entire section. The best part of it is that watching the rehearsals has given me a set of clear ideas on exactly what to do. Now it's just a question of making it, and making it fun.
