Smash the Mirror
Performed by the Avondale Theatre Company. July 16-18, 2009. The production was put together in three weeks of building and rehearsals at Avondale High School in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The cast and crew was made up of current high school students, alumni going all the way back to the class of 1991, younger kids in the school district, and three teachers.
I (the music director and guitarist) dedicate this performance to diehard fans like me who agree with Roger Daltrey about the Broadway version's orchestrations sounding too watered down and not enough like The Who.
It's funny how we did this. We had a small bed frame and put silver wrapping paper over it and then kept it held up by chains. When she smashed the mirror someone went up behind it and held the frame so it didn't go flying everywhere.
