Posted: 5/1/12 at 8:08amApparently the only thing you CAN do when you're in tech is quit two days before the first preview to shoot a pilot.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 5/1/12 at 8:15amI'm NOT getting married today and I won't dance - don't ask me. Anyone can whistle, though, but not backstage because I'M IN TECH, dammit!
#3Are You IN TECH?
Posted: 5/1/12 at 8:20am"SHOOT a pilot"???? Oh, I thought it was just the gay actor announcing he had a new boyfriend. All he said was, "I got a pilot". While a pilot may not be as good a catch as a doctor, I guessed he was justified in leaving the show for his new love.

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

I would go to the doctor to have my shoulder put back in place after a crazy dance move, but I'M IN TECH! Just chop it off before my entrance! That's what Marilyn would have done.

Posted: 5/1/12 at 9:44amI'm glad Tony Yazbeck's character got a pilot. I cringed when he sang last week. I'll have to rewatch the episode to count how many times Karen said I'M IN TECH.

Posted: 5/1/12 at 9:52amI like how she gave Dev two reasons why she couldn't answer his proposal, and I'M IN TECH had priority over his cheating.

Posted: 5/1/12 at 9:53amAt least the writers are true to their concept :P. Is this show anything like real life?
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 5/1/12 at 10:18amIn his Broadway World comment on his Tony nomination, Danny Burnstein essentially said that, even though he is IN TECH, he will be happy about the fact that he is a Tony nominee. Yep, even IN TECH.

No, life stops when you're not in Tech!
I thought last night's episode was one of the more realistic ones. Of course no one has ever played 16 whole bars of music at once on the first day of tech, and there would be a lot more computers and wasted time.

Posted: 5/1/12 at 10:52pmBut they can completely halt TECH for a sparkler-adorned birthday cake for the director to be rolled on stage and then eaten, in full costume, no less. DURING TECH.

Posted: 5/1/12 at 11:47pmThe actors can also stay up late partying and having impromptu singing competitions while they are IN TECH!

If you have ever been in an important show like a Broadway show...
Especially your first Broadway show...
You would know that life does stop while you are in tech.
You don't want to give anything else your energy because you want to focus it into the show. And make the show a success. Let's face it. Lot's of people put their life on hold when a musical is opening
I think that being in tech was a totally legitimate excuse for putting everything else on hold. So get real people.
