We're a hit! I have so much to tell, from the gypsy robe ceremony to the party that I will do it all tomorrow. The show was to begin at 6:45 but we began a little after 7 pm. Among the audience: Arlene Dahl, Trevor Nunn, Bran Dennehy, Judy Blazer, Rob Fisher and a lot of family and friends. Seeing the show was a lot like seeing the final performance of Lansbiry and Cariou in SWEENEY TODD: every moment, every entrance got applause; Terri White's "Necessity" and the gospel quartet on "The Begat" stopped the show dead. The 15-20 minute intermission must has lasted 30 minutes; the ailes were packed with folk tryng to hit the bar or the johns and being stck in enormous traffic jams. After the show I ran backstage to join everyone in a champagne toast, and then it was off to the party. The word late in the evening was that we're getting pretty solid raves and I am ecstatic over it. I picked up opening night Playbills for DRs George, TCB, and JRand59. I think a loy of the reviews we deserved and some of them are HHW vibes doing their best.
I'm tipsy and very tired so I'll continue the story tomorrow. Thanks for posting the reviews online, DR JRand59! I can't wait to read them all.
