workshops

I have always wondered exactly what goes on during a NYC musical workshop since I've never been fortunate enough to attend one. I've always envisioned a bunch of talent sitting together in a room and just reading and singing the score of a show for a group of invited critics/audience members. Probably to piano accompaniment, with no choreography.

How close am I? What workshops have you all attended and how closely do they reflect the final product that you see in a frozen show?

lots, lots and LOTS of changes

Another thing I was thinking: they have to have some sort of narrator or hand-out to set the scene, letting the audience know what the heck is going on, right? Surely more of you out there have some interesting workshop stories that you aren't sharing!!! We're all curious (:
