  • Broadway shows run like clockwork, and @TylerMount went backstage at Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 to find out what the stage management teams do to keep the performances moving without any mistakes!

      Ciara Atkins it's worth the difficulty though! :) it's one of the best things I've ever done and filling in for one of the regular techies at my school when she had a family emergency was the best decision I've made in my life so far! I am proud to say I am officially part of the backstage "family" we have at my school!

      That's awesome Rosie! SM's really are the backbone of all shows-- keep up the good work and maybe we'll be filming you for one of these videos some day!

    "The house is open! Broadway, people!" is way funnier than it should be.

    This is an awesome video. Stage management is literally one of my DREAM jobs so thank you for covering it!

      If you have a local theatre that has tours come by, consider sending a letter to the SMs a letter by mail (or drop it off) at the stage-door. Not every show can accommodate it, but SOME shows will give a SM students a backstage tour or even allow shadowing! Every show is different, because of schedule and venue rules, but it might be worth an ask! You might get lucky!

    I'm a retiring stage manager watching all the SM video's for fun. Looking at that console and hearing the cues made me glad I'm retiring. Well done to the whole team. Also I flew from Toronto to NY in the morning, saw the Comet in the afternoon and flew home in the evening. I was determined not to miss it. Totally worth it.

    Wow, I saw the GBC when it opened with Ingrid Michaelson in it and there were definitely tons of parts to it but I had no idea how many calls they had to do. Crazy!

    Don't they usually say Lights instead of LX in the US?

      Every SM has their own way, theres no universal system that everyone needs to follow.

  • @chloeminh2366
    @chloeminh2366 3 года назад +2

    can the actors hear the stage manager talk while they’re on stage ?

    • @haydenpolsky995
      @haydenpolsky995 3 года назад +3

      Nope, they just kind of have to be in sync. Actors don't necessarily need to know when cues are happening because they can usually see them, and they just know where they need to be and what they need to do.
