BWW Blog: Chris Vo of ON THE TOWN - Final Prep!
by Guest Blogger: Christopher Vo - Oct 15, 2014


Last Thursday, we officially "froze" the show, which means that we are finished with any major changes. We continue to receive notes before our performances. However, the choreography, set changes, music, and our script will adhere to Thursday night's version--our final draft, so to speak. This way, we get to marinate in the show a bit while previews continue and then the October 16 opening arrives. Also, it gives the press a chance to see it ahead of time.
