Back from a pretty good designer run-through. We ran most of the show prior to doing it, too. Watching it again was interesting - act one is just right and consistently running fifty-four minutes, which is perfect. Act two started out at an hour and five minutes and without cutting a thing it's now down to an hour. But watching it I made the decision to try something slightly different on Monday - cutting a short two-part Now and Then skit and moving the Vilanch sketch where that was. It solves a few problems - a) a cut and will probably bring us down to fifty-eight minutes. b) a better flow, I think. The unknown is going from a very long sequence (monologues with a song weaving in and out) about the gay experience, which ends with a huge choral anthem, right into the show's final song about the Sunset Strip. I never thought that would work, but I'm coming around to the idea now. The Vilanch sketch was between them but that just hasn't been feeling right.
