Good morning, all! I have the McGlinnventory this morning followed by an afternoon of work here. Yesterday's meeting at Toyland was necessary and very invigorating. It was nice to see several good folk and to hear two others over the telephone, and I think it got us all revved up to accomplishing some good work for the next months. I've lost my trusty sidekick on BABES IN TOYLAND Vol. 1 and most of THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER, Tom Murray, who's gone on to be the Music Director of the LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC revival but i've acquired an equally fabulous replacement, the wonderful composer and musician Skip Kennon, who'll help me get through BABES IN TOYLAND Vol. 2 and the remainder of THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER.
DR Jose, tell Josh Grisetti I send my love. Several of his friends, including his former roommate Kasey Marino, were in last night's event, and Josh is one of my favorite performers. I will have to miss Thursday's event because of other commitments and I would love to be there to cheer for Josh and to meet his wife. Here's Josh in the center kicking up his heels in WHERE'S CHARLEY?
