What time is it, anyway?

Almost through preview weekend. And, for the record, the show last night was really quite good.

Thanks, in no small part, to my excellent acting coaches.

Let's face it, the leads have been rather neglected. First in learning and playing this music, and now in this crunch time leading up to our enormous opening night. So the three of us are scrambling in our own ways trying to make sense of these characters who, for the most part, give no indication of what type of people they are.

There have been lots of fights.

All we really needed for the trio was for one person to boldly go in a direction. The others would fall in line behind that person and go with him. It would fix everything.

And it did. It fixed everything. The energy was up, the choices were somehow more interesting, and you could finally get behind the leads and care about their story because they were nice people--not jerks. And I can't take any credit for this.

So for those of you out there (and you know who you are) who helped me cook this one up, my hat goes off to you. The protagonists are finally...likable.
