Early in the rehearsal process for Take Flight, we realized just how exciting this show was shaping up to be. Not only is it a brand new musical—a thrilling undertaking in itself—but it’s also got a legendary writing team, a ridiculously talented cast, and a visionary director. We decided that all of this had to be documented.

So a few weeks ago, we asked a photographer to come shoot a full day of Take Flight rehearsal, documenting everything from scene work to staging to musical sessions. We ended up with over 700 images from the day.

Here are just a few of our favorites; head over to our Facebook page for more!
