Due to the specifics of everyone's schedules, today became a 3:00-10:00 rehearsal for 'Now and Then a Hero'. The rehearsal went very efficiently, Jake had scheduled it on a micro level, and all the 'blocking' is done. It remains to be seen how this all will work flowing together. We'll see that on Sunday when we have our first 'stumble through.'
So today, I admit, was quite tedious and I won't bore you with the description of the specifics. I remain, of course, impressed with the cast; all of them have moments and flashes of brilliance. But it's hard for me to see past how much still needs to be learned, and I hope they find the time to go over their music between now and Wednesday, or else we're in for some train wrecks.
Of course, this is always how one feels at this point, and then things always miraculously come together, as I'm sure they will again. More details tomorrow.
