I want to start off with a short apology... I haven't been able to update this in the last couple days to a very large extent. We have been loading in the show.. which.. to say is massive.. is an understatement. We have to fit 1350 seats in a round tent, with no internal supports. The entire stage supports somewhere north of 10 traps, of which 4 are automated (Including a 10' diameter center disk that flips over), 5 flying rigs, and a two level upstage area. Oh.. and the entire stage is set about 6' off the ground.
Sooo, while I could be writing long, amazing stories every night, I really just want to sleep. Or shower, then sleep. Or have a glass of wine, a box of white cheddar cheez its, and sleep (Don't judge, you are just jealous!). Our current tally is about 27 semi trucks for the show, plus we bought another couple today. I can officially say that we now rival Lady Gaga's tour. Only ours was never meant to tour! We found out they decided to bring it stateside after how it did in London... so that is where I end up.. rebuilding a set that was never designed to travel, in a field, under a tent.
If you get some spare time, come on down and help! ;)
I will try to update soon. There is talk that we won't have Sunday off so we can get everything done...if we do get it off, rumor says Disneyland. Or sleep.
I miss all of you out in Seattle dearly.
PS - If you get a chance, there is a really amazing show (Cider House Rules, pt 2) opening at Book-it on Saturday night. You definitely should check it out. Truly amazing theatre.
