There was a sense of completion because we knew and anticipated the end of the show's production schedule. We were able to kind of set ourselves up for the end psychologically, and do things that we wanted to do, which was fun. But it was sad. We were all ticking down the days. We worked almost one continuous year with very few breaks.
People feel burned out when they're working twelve hours a day, and often longer.
Sure enough, it's all people talk about now. The staff and the production value was nice, the quality of the treatment of actors and people - all of that was of very high quality. There are a lot of personal relationships that will go on. Professionally it was the most incredible experience for me to work with a lot of older, famous actors, some wonderful directors, and to learn a lot, get a directing contract, and to write and end up producing the show. I was lucky.
