The time has finally come for us to move into our new home at the beautiful Music Box Theatre! Once we get there we will begin 'tech' and shift our focus to the technical aspects of the show. We will start at the top and go through moment by moment setting lighting cues, spacing dance numbers, determining prop locations, figuring out entrances and exits, set moves, etc. The tech process is pretty hectic, so we tried to make good use of our final days in the rehearsal studio.
The evening was a celebration of the company's artistic achievements under Artistic Director Todd Haimes' 30 years of leadership and the future ahead. BroadwayWorld.com was there to capture the stars as they arrived for a great night of entertainment!
