Back from a decent final dress - no real audience, just us and designers. The big issues were energy at the top of the show - very low - and then establishing the tone instantly - if we don't let the audience know it's okay to laugh, it's a rough road ahead - but that's more difficult than it sounds because the subject matter is not funny - it's the delivery and quirky that's funny and last night they didn't let us know what - they have before, so we'll now get that back.
