Hello all, It's Sean Patrick Doyle, your Songbird of Avignon... I know you haven't heard a chirp from me in over a week, as we've been NESTled up in the Longacre making all of the technical magic happen! And I'm happy to report that we've escaped tech week unscathed! Utterly exhausted, but unscathed! Don't quote me on it, but we very well may have set a record last week, teching a Broadway musical in a mere 3 1/2 days, and thankfully, that gave us plenty of time for cleaning and finessing.
