Today is the beginning of the last week of this school assembly tour. It’s crazy how doing 2-3 shows a day for 3 weeks (so far) will tighten up a show. That is if you actively try to make the show better, and not just go out and do it.
These shows are supposed to be 40 minutes long. For the first week or so, I was constantly cutting out bits or routines, and the show seemed to consistently run long. That was because what I was cutting wasn’t working; however, at the same time, I was making what was working better!
To me, the real value of taking a tour like this is taking a show from OK to great in a short amount of time! It is a lot of work to do this; you have to objectively look at the show, and every day, try to find something to improve or cut.
