Script, script, script

Week 2 - 436 days to opening night

I think I'm over the almost-suicidally-rubbish disappointment of Saturday night now. I think it was good to see, and I'm not against anything the company did, but I was just disappointed that the revised script hadn't really improved anything. And, oh god, how bor-ing it was. Don't get me wrong - I think, no, I KNOW there's a superb musical in there - always have. That's why I want to take it on. It just needs the right approach. Needs a bit of life.

Spent some of yesterday going over the old script I have highlighting the changes, the problem areas etc, but I think I've sorted out the opening - it'll work much better than the standard opening of the show, and without deviating from the script or score at all. 

Yeah, I think there's a faint glimmer of a show starting to appear.
