Fine tuning the show
It's the second week of previews and we are all still very busy working on changes and fine tuning the show. Technical departments are in with Tamara from ten in the morning working on programming and technical changes without the actors. In the afternoon the actors join and we work on changes with the cast on stage in their microphones and rehearsal piano. Then just before the show in the evening we have a short call with the orchestra so they can play any new parts and David can do notes. It's only finally during the evening preview that all these changes come together in the show. So, for the sound department, the evening preview is actually the most important part of the daily rehearsal process. After a busy day it's when we get to finally put all the elements together for the first time.
