Rehearsal: The Epic Musical Saga

Take It Easy On Me (1981) Little River Band

Take It Easy On Me (1981) Written by Graham Goble, Performed by Little River band

Sometimes things just don't work out. Sometimes you have to cut your losses because you know it's better for the long run, but you still have to nurse a bruised heart until it starts to beat normally again.

Loss is a prevalent theme throughout Rehearsal. All of the main characters have to deal with it in different ways. Duncan had a very rocky relationship with the man who raised him and left his mother and siblings he loved to get away from him. Evan's father left the family during his young teen years, and he lost his younger brother during his late teen years. Susie lost her mother when she was very young, and her baby sister. The three of them understand the gapes in their friends' lives well. Those gapes bring them together while they help each other mend and deal with the fallout.

And then ... tragedy. Regrouping is a major obstacle when you're still recovering...
