We've recently started rehearsals for Urinetown and the further we go the more I think I want to change things for next year.

 Instead of alternating blocking, music and choreography rehearsals in the beginning, what I would like to try (for next year) is having students off book – both lines and music - and most choreography done before starting blocking work. So the first month would be all music and choreography, then we would spend the rest of the time with blocking and putting everything together. Also, this would give my tech theater class time to work on the sets so they are mostly done when the staging begins.

Does anyone do things this way? If not, how do you schedule your rehearsals for musicals?
