"And this, Frederick," I shouted at the tuxedoed doctor as I leapt into the crowd after his frenzied monster, "is why we do dress rehearsals BEFORE doing an Fred Astaire dance number with our creation!"

To be fair, it's pretty clear that Frederick rehearsed -- it wasn't until the stage light blew out and the audience got hostile that things began to go wrong.

There's a rehearsal, and then there's a Dress Rehearsal. The first is where you go through your lines, get everything blocked out, and coordinate with your musicians. The second is where you do it RIGHT BEFORE you do your actual production, so you can make sure that nothing is wrong/broken/malfunctioning. (Strictly speaking, there's a Technical Rehearsal, too, where the stage manager and techs make sure that all the lighting and such are working properly as well. Which they clearly didn't do.)
