Cost Shows How To Succeed Viewing the musical from behind the scenes is the way many people, who don't always receive the credit they deserve, see the production. Those people are the ones who work endless hours to create scenery at its best.

They were right. Another pit member, Senior Greg Hawkinson commented, Because I had played in it fthe pitl two years before and I really enjoyed the type of music associated with the musicals.
