D-day minus two, and rehearsal was a complete mess.
We started an hour late despite showing up two hours early.
We finished an hour late.
The set isn't done.
The props aren't all here.
The lighting comes on at all the wrong moments.
The music is awful.
An important scene has been cut out.
Actors forget their cues and their lines.
No one has any idea about what to do for hair and makeup.
The director gives orders and counterorders every five minutes.
Everyone is exhausted.
In the last hour, everyone was hysterical.
And to top it off, I look like a walking doily in my costume.
It will be a miracle if this show even happens.

I suspect that you no more believe in miracles than I do. But I'm sure that things will just fall into place. In my experience of these things they usually do. And when they don't then ask yourself whether, in the greater scheme of things, you will care after the night. In my experience I usually don't.
(Sorry about all the 'I's.)
It is often said that GB and I think alike. I was going to make exactly the same comments as he did!
Oops - forgot to wish you.... but then one isn't supposed to is one. I believe 'Break a Leg' is the appropriate expression.
