Good morning, all! I was going to sleep later but I had a phone call from my beloved sister-in-law Jo and I figured it was time. The party at Angus was indeed fantastic: I got to meet the beautiful Naomi Kakuk's new husband - I said to her, "when BK told me you had gone to a wedding, I thought you were attending one!" - some friends of Merrill Grant's from Indianapolis, assorted boyfriends, girlfriends, and family of the cast and musicians. My young friend Nicholas Stimler, who's been assisting Jeff Calhoun on all the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL productions as well as WHITE CHRISTMAS, was one of my guests last night, and I'm encouraging him to ask our beautiful dance assistant Cassie out.
Nick, Jose, Cassie, and I waited with Erin (I love her!) and Natalie, our rehearsal pianist, at the stage door, and then we learned that the actors were coming out through the theatre so we all ran back to the lobby to see if anyone was still there. Then all walked to Angus' and on the way we picked up a few of the actors we'd missed - Steven, Denise, Joe - and went to partay! BJ and Cason arrived later because they decided to stop at theirr digs on the way. It was all quite a festive event. I really love this production and the company, and I was happy to see the musicians get such nice credits in the program.
BK, until you mentioned it in your notes, I had no idea the first act was playing longer that usual.
Today, I have to deal with a real estate proposal, the NY State Dept of Motor Vehicles to insure myself that all matters pertaining to my (former) car have been resolved, a bit of editing, perhaps the NYPL, and a little dinner before the show with friends from the Library of Congress.
