Guinness World Records' rules required the timer to start when the theater company opened the box of mystery scripts, which Rubber Chicken Theatre discovered were for the sci-fi musical Return to the Forbidden Planet.
"We had just 10 hours to pull together the entire show, from learning lines, songs and choreography, to organizing costumes, lighting, sound, set and props," Creative Director Pamela Mackie told the Daily Record newspaper.
Guinness adjudicator Jack Brockbank was on hand during the process and confirmed the theater company captured the record by staging the musical 9 hours, 59 minutes and 3 seconds after opening the box of scripts on Sunday.
"We're delighted to have taken it back," Mackie said of the record. "Bigger, brighter, bolder, and faster than ever."
