As a way of life, it is mind-blowingly unique…
8 years on from attending a meeting with Tim and Lee about the show when all that existed was Stuart’s fabulous music, and here we are about to open.
In the interim an entire creative team has been engaged, a cast chosen, all the various departments have been staffed, and a Theatre found. The necessary money has been raised, so now we have more than 200 people fully focussed on our opening next week.
No day is long enough in the endless handling of budget, marketing, contracts, scheduling, but the pleasure in seeing the Preview in the evening and witnessing the changes worked in and the exciting audience response. As a way of life, it is mind-blowingly unique - Previews are the most tense and exciting period but in just over a week another phase of the real work starts: the routine of eight fresh and exciting performances for audiences that could be over ten thousand each week.
