Sweeney Update: Injuries

Well, it's here! Tomorrow is full dress rehearsal, Wednesday is preview, and Thursday is opening night! I haven't posted in a few days as we've been in rehearsal pretty much every evening for the past two weeks. Today we made use of the Thanksgiving Monday to have our cue-to-cue and do a run-through of the show. We are now in the Jericho Arts Centre, and on the beautiful sets, almost fully costumed.

I think the show is going to be great (not just because I'm in it!) and the buzz that is building is fabulous. We've sold out 70% of the first week, and almost 50% of the entire run, and that's before opening (and reviews). We're getting more and more comfortable with everything, although I have to say at the moment I am distinctly uncomfortable as one of the large industrial scaffolds that form part of our set ran over my foot today in the finale, and I'm pretty sure my big toe is broken. So instead of my usual post-rehearsal run to blow off excess energy, I had to come home, elevate and ice it. Owie. I am not looking forward to putting on my dance shoes tomorrow night for dress rehearsal - hopefully during the day I can get away with wearing comfortable shoes at work...
