Tonight is the Invited Dress Rehearsal for Rock of Ages Toronto!
The invited dress rehearsal is the last dress rehearsal we have before a paying audience comes in. In attendance, we have some of our family & friends, our extended Mirvish family and some contest winners. What's cool about tonight's performance is that we also have a bus of 40 Rock of Ages SuperFans from NYC coming out to support!
We have worked our asses off for 5 weeks getting this show ready for everybody and tonight we finally get to hear some reactions! Tonight is the first night where we will find out exactly what works and exactly what doesn't and we will continue to polish all through previews. The unique thing about Rock of Ages compared to other shows is that the audience is a crucial crucial part of the process, and the show itself. We break the fourth wall a lot in the show and if the audience (our final cast member) doesn't get what's happening or doesn't feel included...we're not doing our job.
The whole cast is super excited about tonight, tomorrow night (first preview) and every show up until and following opening night! (May 11th)
Keep living, Keep breathing. Breath in the negative, live out the positive. And everything will be.
