• Watched Mr. Skywalker’s proposed video for track I remixed last month. Brilliant job. Can’t wait for him to go public with it.

• Work continues apace on cuts.
• Script topped out at 180 pages. I’m hoping to bring it down to 120. That seems insane – cutting literally 1/3 of the script but I’m most of the way there and I don’t feel that the story has been compromised.
• If anything, the real story is being revealed through this process.

• Read through the newly combined scenes with Greg. Totally worked!
• Now it’s time to get back through from the beginning and start removing the various threads that are not essential.
• Also, came up with plan for finale. Wont be a new song but a recap of several prior songs already written.
• The polish is going on.

HH Musical

• Spent several hours combing Act II, Scenes 3, 4, and 6 into one action-packed scene.
• Reduced 32 pages to 17 pages. Though I have a few lines of dialog still to add.
• It’s not just shorter, it is better. More to-the-point and exciting which is exactly what the play needs in the home stretch.

HH Musical

• Only did a little bit of writing but I had some big epiphanies and ideas.
• The play is too long and had grown unfocused.
• Jotted down ideas for cutting threads and combining scenes. Sent to Greg for feedback.
• I don’t see this as a major rewrite; more of a major reconfiguring. Shuffling and trimming.
