Basura: Letting it Loose in Atlanta

So would you say that this, what we experienced yesterday is kind of more of the norm? A hundred percent.

Yeah.

I always thought in Chicago,

um, that there was so much like step and repeat and prompt circumstance and party like celebration.

Yeah.

Because there was a party, an after party.

Yeah.

Um, in Chicago for the premiere.

And usually after a first preview, the cast and the creative team cleared the theater, and convene right away and have a meeting about what just happened in the theater, what they noticed from the audience, and what needs to be fixed and worked on for the coming week of shows.

Because the shows and previews until June 12th, when is opening night in Atlanta.

And around June 12th, the show would, quote unquote, be frozen.

so the press can go to the show and see what everybody else is going to see after june 12th and review it

so today is the day after the world premiere so from today today's the 31st of may until june 12th around june 12th from here to then they

can change the show changes they could scrap a whole musical number for all we know they could add a new one in like they could like rewrite scenes like they could say i noticed the audience was not responding to this or i noticed the audience really responded to that character maybe we can add something for them or take some take a song out that didn't work or take a scene out that didn't work and they're rewriting they're you know like if you've ever seen like a sitcom taping

like

the friends behind the scenes and you see that joke didn't land with the audience let's write five different ones and see which one works got it

so that's what they're doing right now

theoretically

okay

yeah it depends on how far along they think the show is or not like if they think we're in really good shape we don't need to rewrite anything they may not be doing all those things but that's really what the preview process

is for And I think to be fair to our listeners, you know, we want to do everything, you know, with a lot of respect.

So, you know, we'll dive into what we saw and kind of, you know, what our thoughts are.

But

this is the second performance they've ever done with an audience.

Yeah.
