RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. A theater troupe in the Scottish city of Dunblane has broken a Guinness World Record by putting on an entire show in less than 10 hours. They started on a Sunday morning and put on the sci-fi musical that evening. The cast of nearly 200 people had to learn lines, choreography, make costumes. There were so many props³, live video feeds, roller skates, spaceship uniforms. No "Death Of A Salesman" here. The play was called "Return To The Forbidden Planet." Go big or go home. It's MORNING EDITION.
