...in 2010, A View from the Bridge closed April 4, and Fences began previews only 10 days later on April 14. It can be done.

Sure it can - but not without overtime. That's a massive amount of work to be done in very little time.

Another example was at the Golden, which had, I think, only 9 days between the closing of Driving Miss Daisy and the first preview of The Normal Heart.

Are they spending your money to do so?

After all, shadowlight is the one saying that if the turnaround is tight and requires overtime the stagehands should be properly compensated!

"Are they spending your money to do so?"

I think there's some confusion here. Perhaps you should read (or re-read) the subthread. I am defending the overtime pay that thtrgoer says "stagehands must be licking their chops" over - as if stagehands had something to do with the timing of the turnaround or that there was something wrong with collecting the resultant overtime.

I'm with you on the overtime if that's what's required, which is why it is so perplexing that you are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill you don't know anything about. That sort of attitude is why people rag on stage hands.
