If I'm not mistaken, Thursday was the first night we didn't have to be here a little early to change something. The ending of the show going into curtain call had been problema...Theatrical OutfitSat, 06 Apr 2013 18:44:02 +0000http://www.theatricaloutfit.org/blog/the-fabulous-lipitones-chapter-12-by-bill-murpheyhttp://www.theatricaloutfit.org/blog/the-fabulous-lipitones-chapter-11-by-bill-murpheyAnd so we've arrived at Opening Night. After three nights of preview performances it all comes down to this. Previews are really dress rehearsals with a paying audience.

And you can do it in you...Theatrical OutfitWed, 27 Mar 2013 01:52:31 +0000http://www.theatricaloutfit.org/blog/the-fabulous-lipitones-chapter-10-by-bill-murpheyhttp://www.theatricaloutfit.org/blog/the-fabulous-lipitones-chapter-9-by-bill-murphey4:19 Here's  where we stand: We broke for lunch about 20 minutes ago. Unlike yesterday, when most of the company went to Slice for lunch together, today we've all scattered.  We may have seen enough of each other this week and need a littl...Theatrical OutfitSun, 24 Mar 2013 21:25:14 +0000http://www.theatricaloutfit.org/blog/the-fabulous-lipitones-chapter-9-by-bill-murpheyhttp://www.theatricaloutfit.org/blog/the-fabulous-lipitones-chapter-8-by-bill-murpheyDateline Sunday, 1:21pm We were back at 11 this morning, have finished doing works on the show, and will begin a run, adding in tech and costumes, at 2:00.  We've come so far since yesterday at this time, I think.
