The Making of a Broadway Show
Tech Week is the final week of rehearsals before a Broadway show opens. It is a crucial time for the creative team and crew to iron out any technical issues and make sure that everything runs smoothly. During this week, the set, lighting, sound, and costumes are all put together and tested to make sure that they work as intended.
Previews are performances that take place before the official opening night of a show. These are essentially dress rehearsals with an audience. Previews are an opportunity for the creative team to see how the show is received by a live audience, and to make final tweaks and adjustments before the show officially opens. Previews can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the show.
Tech Week can be a stressful time for the creative team and crew, as there are often a lot of last-minute changes and adjustments that need to be made. Rehearsals can run late into the night, and everyone involved is working hard to make sure that the show is ready for previews.
During previews, the creative team will watch the show from different sections of the theater to get a sense of how it looks and sounds to different parts of the audience. They will also take note of the audience's reactions and adjust the show accordingly. For example, if a joke isn't landing or a scene is confusing, the creative team may make changes to the script or staging to improve the show.
Overall, Tech Week and Previews are important parts of the process of making a Broadway show. They allow the creative team and crew to make final adjustments and ensure that the show is ready for its official opening night.
