Dress Rehearsals
Opening night is close. All of the components of the show have come together, the tech run-throughs have fixed minor issues, now it’s time for the full-dress rehearsal. The dress rehearsal puts cast, crew, and musicians together to run the show as if it were an actual performance. The actors practice their hair, makeup, and costumes. The scenes are checked for final blocking.
The directors use this as a chance to see the show as the audience will see it and make any last-minute changes before the show premiers. In this photo, director Joshua Logan, Richard Rodgers, producer Dwight Deere Wiman and producer Richard Kollmar discuss the rehearsal of By Jupiter, making sure their vision is polished to perfection onstage. The cast, crew, and production team will soon find out if their months of effort are worth it as opening night approaches.
