Mic check from the other side of the stage!

I checked and there’s still nobody here named Mic. But you can see the edge of Higgins’ staircase wagon hiding in the stage left vestibule. And if Higginswagon McVestibule isn’t the coolest name in the entire musical theater canon then my name isn’t Mic.

It's THE COOLEST OF ALL REHEARSALS FOR A MUSICAL. At the Wandelprobe, we get to sing ("Wand") for the first time ("del") with the orchestra ("pr") as we move ("ob") about the set ("e"). SEE HOW EASY GERMAN IS?
