Back from rehearsal - we did as much as we could with HALF the cast out. Ridiculous, and I will never again cast people with these kinds of conflicts EVER. So, we did as much as we could, I did detail work on the show's big monologue, and we ran some problem things over and over. Our choreographer came by and did what she needed to do for one number. She'll be back for our optional Monday rehearsal - although four of the missing cast are NOT optional for Monday, since these four have missed so many rehearsals. The choreographer has two things to do on Monday. Happily, she watched my staging of one of the new numbers and loved it.
