Re: Sunday Night ChatSorry for the swerve . . .I think a Monday start is pretty common for Broadway first nationals. If absolutely everything went right we MIGHT have been able to get In The Heights in with a 6:00am Tuesday start. I definitely wouldn't have had any dedicated quiet time and soundcheck would have been cut short.We start the build for Addams in a couple weeks. I have to believe the load-in will be even longer for this show due to the amount of scenic automation.**edit** -- You are correct that the audio department generally only has enough work for a single day. Unfortunately they make us do the show with the set and lighting as well so we have to give time for focusing lights and often have to wait for certain scenic elements to go in before onstage speakers can be connected. Additionally, when using local musicians we have to allow time for moving some instruments from the lobby/rehearsal room into the pit following the afternoon rehearsal.
