Don't cry for me Princess Leia
Nov. 11th, 2005 06:46 pmLast night I had the honor and the privilege of watching the dress rehearsal of the Star Wars Musical at MIT.
I was in Boston for a conference, staying about 1.5 miles from MIT, and Steph (bless her) got me in. To give you a sense of how busy she is, she didn’t even tell her husband that I was coming. So everyone was a little surprised to see me, although they are so tired and distracted and busy that we didn’t linger over it.
Two words describe what I saw: brilliant, and ambitious.
Opening night is tonight – very very soon – and when I left at 1 a.m., they had a lot more to do. I’m sure there are many who didn’t sleep at all in the last 30 hours. My fingers are crossed that all the technical problems get solved, especially the sound system.
I hardly spoke to or saw everyone. But it was nice just to be there and watch.
