[SML] Load-in for the Tony Awards

[Michael Sauder]

In terms of getting it built in time, load-in and rehearsals take 11 days.
In terms of space we have, to quote a colleague, an "aircraft carrier for a
stage." We don't have large wing space, but we do have three huge stage +
pit elevators and two lower levels that scenery can be shuffled to.

I can't really speak for the design side of things, sorry.
