I took these at the first off-book rehearsal, Oct. 25. It was the first off-book rehearsal, so there was plenty of time for pictures.
 |
| Here you see the set, nearly finished, with Ali. I think Joe's asleep way over at your left. |
| |
 |
| Andy as the Judge is on the loose. |
| |
 |
| Will and Ali talk something over in front of Isabelle's barred window. |
| |
 |
| Brooke wants in but Joe won't open the door. |
| |
 |
| Brooke appears to have been born with cane in hand. Vaudeville blood will tell. . . . |
| |
 |
| Ali in conversation with Katie (the bars are swung back now). |
| |
 |
| Surely this one can pass without commentary. |
| |
 |
| Something about a billet-doux. |
| |
 |
| Will is not wearing bunny slippers. Will is wearing Eeyore slippers. |
| |
 |
| The Judge issues a ruling from his attic to Brooke and Hue. |
| |
 |
| I've forgotten why Joe collapses here. Probably because he can do a comic fall. It's just that kind of show. |
| |
 |
| Will and Andy talk something over. |
| |
 |
| Allison takes down the proceedings on an old adding machine. |
| |
 |
| With Andy on the bench and Will in the audience, Joe presents his case. |
| |
 |
| Will stands in for The Public. |
| |
 |
| Will and Katie make nice in court. I bet there's some dramatically compelling reason why Ali is crouched next to the Judge. |
| |
 |
| Brooke is hardly outraged at all as Andy hits on Katie. |
