Les Miserables - Dress Rehearsals

In the big scheme of things, the transition into dress rehearsals has been smooth. Rebecca Crow (Costume Designer) and her crew have built and created wonderful costumes, and the dressers have planned out the quick changes and made everything work smoothly in rehearsal. MCT is lucky to have great staff members and volunteers working in this area, and the results of their hard work and dedication show up on the stage.

Dress rehearsals are all about moving the show from solid rehearsals to good performances. Our cast is prepared for the show - they know their parts, they know what to do, and now they need to do it with confidence. I have always been a big fan of repetition - the more times you do something, the better prepared you are to do it. This is true for the actors as well as the set and prop crew, the Stage Management team and the light and sound operators. Everyone is working hard to produce the best show possible, and we are very excited about our opening on Friday. I will update again on Friday prior to the opening night.
