It’sespecially odd consideringthey’re about to have a week and half layoff between Costa Mesa and San Diego. That’s when things like this are usually done."
That's not when "things like this are usually done".

Usually cost and personnel availability. Might've been cheaper to do it Seattle than wherever they headed next (as presumably there was a work call for the crew, including local crew, the days they did these changes)
It's very possible they knew they wanted to get it done before a certain date and the week they did it was what worked best for all parties.
Most people don't see tours multiple times so from the producers perspective people won't know what chang

Yes, they slimmed down the tour while they were in Seattle.
(This happens all the time.)
No they weren't loading it out while the show was going on.
No you're not going to get a refund.
Yes, you're being ridiculous.
If you hadn't seen it already you never would have known.
Hope this helps.

Ripped said this:
"I've had plenty of tech experience where they let the actors go and we did notes the following day. It makes sense since you're fresh and can then apply those notes instead of being exhausted and barely listening.
And having a tech meeting after the rehearsal makes a lot of sense because it outlines the next day. "
That's exactly how it works right now on Broadway.

No offense and I don't know where your experience is/was, but Broadway is sui generis when it comes to tech (among a myriad of other things) and you are not describing a process that is logistically possible (at least not on a big show)..."
Ripped literally described the tech notes process for every Broadway show I've ever worked on as a designer or as

I think a few things need to be addressed because there are a lot of people just making things up:
JSquared: "Assistant designers are covered by United Scenic Artists, and after "X" number of hours, they go into overtime." You have no idea what you're talking about. The USA contracts for assistants and associates are weekly (and sometimes daily). Assistants and associates are usually at the theater at the top of call and leave at the end of the
