The first rehearsals

We've had our first few rehearsals. It has been great to have a few read-thrus and have a chance to hear all the songs. It is such a joy to tailor a song to a singers voice. As Dan and I were working on the songs we had each of the singers come and sing for us. Sometimes it was just 'Amazing Grace' in order to understand the voices. Sometimes we have them run through sketches for the songs from the show. Even though we've started rehearals, we're still working on the songs and making adjustments as we go. A musical is not written--it is rewritten.
