George you might be interested to know that we spend an hour chatting wit Peter David.  Tonight was a slow night , I suspect  due to St Pattys celebrations  there was no one at his table

It's intermission.  As for the show, I'm enjoying the show (it's a great show), but I'm not loving the casting.  At first, i thought that Rose sounded like she wass having voice problems, but after a while, I think that she doesn't have a strong enough belt voice for the role.  And neither Rose nor (older) June have much of a head voice, at all.  They can act well enough, but It's not enough.  The other negative is that I'm not loving (older) Louise's acting choices.  We'll see what it's like in the second act.

Jed is good...which is not a surprise.

Finished with my viewing - half a movie - could not take any more in one sitting - Interiors.  The writing is so awful - sorry, Woody.

I have been watching March Madness all day, but I had to stop at 8:00 p.m. to watch GRIMM.  It is really getting good as it marches to its final episode.

I may have to beg George to record the episode on 3/31, since I will be on stage doing SECOND SAMUEL.

Well, I think that the people next to me who chatted a liitle too much might have influenced my opinion, a bit.  I really enjoyed the second act.  It felt like it was much better than the first.

Overall, it was a good production.  The costumes were great, the set and staging were effective.  They didn't get a standing ovation at all, but the applause was genuinely appreciative.  Rose was a good actress, but the top notes of the songs were just a note or two too high.  If they could've lowered the keys, she would've been much better.

Oh, and they used canned music.  I hadn't thought about how that small theater was going to handle the orchestra, and that's how they did it.  There were only three or four moments where it was a bit awkward, but it was never a train wreck.  The tracks otherwise sounded well enough....just a little soft on the opening attack of the notes, if that makes sense.

I did see Jed and said "hi" from you, Tom.  He seemed happy to hear that.  I also got to see my friend Joe.  He was good in his roles.

Well, I'm sitting in my car just a couple of blocks from the theater using up my data plan to post, so I'm going to go now.

I probably won't be back before the new day switches, so I'm outta here!

I wonder if Stephanie strained her voice doing the show.  Alec Clayton thought her voice was terrific when he saw it last weekend.
