We had our first dress rehearsal last night. Lights! Sets! Costumes! Make up! And...action! The audience was full of Sheridan students so the cast was really on and did a great job!

The lighting and the costumes rock! I know the heavily made up '60s look (hair and makeup and clothes) is a bit of a "not-so-natural" look, but boy it is flattering to women (is that a sexist comment?)

And the guys look really handsome in their '60s haircuts. I think it was just a really flattering decade all round!

Some technical glitches, missed lines etc. but that's what rehearsals are for! But I could see it had become "a show", a cohesive whole.

Very exciting. And the crew was really hustling, whether it was sweeping and washing the stage floor, or venturing up on a high ladder to change a bulb. Also very exciting. Gosh, I love this stuff. See you opening night on Thursday!
