My Fair Lady Part II
Tonight we had our first complete run-through of My Fair Lady. Or, I should say, we were scheduled to. We didn't make it all the way through. For a play that should run an hour and forty-five minutes to two hours, a three-hour rehearsal wasn't enough time to get all the way through it. Admittedly, we had to stop a couple of times, but really very little time was lost there. It was mostly a matter of people stumbling over lines and not picking up cues. The pacing of the show was atrocious. And, frankly, there's not a lot of time to fix it. We have a tech rehearsal tomorrow night, and then three dress rehearsals (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) and we open Monday night.

But surely you've been around theatre enough to know that things are often worse just as you get closest to performance time.
True. And yet it never ceases to bother me.
Mo, it's next week. We open on Monday and run through Saturday night. Seven-thirty nightly. Let me know if you're coming.
