The sitzprobe was wonderful. Zoë Wanamaker is so fragile and heartbreaking, her "Happy Birthday" is a real tearjerker. I got to speak briefly to John Kander, but he was really tied up with the score, director, and conductor. John Turturro will be fine once he relaxes into singing with an orchestra - his first time today! - and Marin and Santino are solid. I think the production will be good.
