The Big Broadcast will have people milling about in character by 7:15. (matinee: 1:15)
The script starts around 7:45. (matinee: ~1:45)
There's at least one ENSMB song before the official start at 8. (matinee: 2)

The usherettes, "cigarette girls" & assorted offstage cast not only look the part, but will be interacting with audience members and each other. I will be in character as Leda Leaper, the Daily Advertiser's gossip columnist. My costume as Leda is amazing - I got an astounding hat from Boston Costume, and Sylvine (who is French, and therefore more stylish than I can ever hope to be) has lent me a dress that makes my rack look even better than it normally does. I know, that seems impossible, but it's true! And the usherettes and cigarette girls look even hotter than I do. And don't even get me started on the house marm! w00t!

If last night's "rehearsal" is any indication, they're also going to run out of vintage candy, and slightly out of period "candy cigarettes", fast. Arrive early, be sure to buy something from them and interact with them in character.
