Preview Performances Begin

I've neglected this blog a little bit on account of being so busy with technical rehearsals. The days have been long and tiring but we're getting there in terms of being show ready for Opening Night a week from today. We head into preview performances tonight for the very first time and I'm confident that I'm in a strong place with the character of Chief Bromden and his emotional journey/arc in the play. The ensemble of actors have been an absolute joy to work with for the past 4 weeks and we're in very capable hands with a wonderful director. Check out the video below to watch a time lapse of the set load in for the stage production of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST designed by Tony Award-winner Todd Rosenthal who designed such Broadway sets as AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY, THE MOTHERF*#ER WITH THE HAT, OF MICE AND MEN and WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?  If you watch closely you might catch a lightning glimpse of me onstage rehearsing the lift and rip out of the floor of a heavy electrical transformer, which is a powerful and pivotal moment near the end of the play. Enjoy!
