"OH! I understand this now! He's naming names!!!![/b]"
The Vixter has not yet studied this era of history and was shocked by the storyline. She wanted to know how you "made this up", and was shocked all over again when I explained that the McCarthy hearings had actually happened.
How gratifying to hear this, Vixmom. Long ago, when you asked whether
Such Good Friends might be appropriate for a girl the Vixter's age, I answered that you'd regret
not bringing her if you didn't, thinking it might be the right time in her life to introduce her to a darker side of America's history, and that the best way to do this was through my show. (And that's not bragging. Which way would you prefer, history lesson or musical comedy?)
Gratifying, too, to see so many HHW denizens, starting with BK himself, at various performances - with more to come Saturday at 1 p.m. I was a little unsure about how you'd react to my handful of promotional announcements. Too many would be annoying, too few, and certain DRs might miss the show because the show times hadn't "stuck" in their brains. I know now, from DR Jose's admission, that my reminding you all of the times was done too rarely.
And I feel I've not made a big enough deal of how much your support means to me, seemingly distracted by the glittering array of celebrities who've also attended (last night, Stephen Schwartz, Jack Klugman). I think it's remarkable that you'd take a chance on a show by a guy you just know from a smattering of overly long posts on this board. And I'm very grateful to all the DRs who attended.
