WOW! I leave for about six hours, and SEVEN more pages of notes! Now that's postin'!!
Good show tonight... One down.... FOUR more to go this weekend... And I would actually like to head up to NYC on Monday for the day, but since we have a Noon show on Tuesday, I should use the day to rest... We'll see...
Tonight's reception was very nice. Good food, again, and they had "adult" beverages tonight
It's just too bad that we have a double tomorrow, or we all could have partied till the wee hours. Alas, most of us started heading home around midnight. But we all did get a good hour of fun, food and socializing. My parents and some of the friends came tonight too, and it was nice that they got to see me conduct at the end of the show.
As for the Michael Jackson case... Did anyone else hear the commentary by Dand Rather over CBS radio the other day? Even he suspects that the news media will get to a point where it will report anything and everything regarding this case. -If it hasn't already. He reminded "everyone" that we still have a conflict in the Middle East going on, that there is still a threat of terrorism worldwide, etc... And that Michael Jackson, right now, is a citizen - like us - who has been accused of committing a crime. Innocent until proven guilty. Let the judicial system try him. And not the press. We'll see...
DR Jason: So nice to hear that Donna was in tune. I remember when I saw
The King & I revival, a gentleman at intermission was asking/telling the sound guy at the back of the house that "she should take some lessons to learn how to sing on pitch". And, I had to agree.. she was particularly pitchy that night. Now when I saw her in
Passion - and I saw her/it five times - I never noticed a pitch problem. However, I did have a few friends who were "amazed" at her pitchiness in that show. In any case.... I just hope
Wonderful Town is able to attract an audience. I just want to see it for the FULL orchestra - on stage no less! I hope to catch it in January when I'm up there.
-And great news about the WVPT gig!

Well, since I have a matinee in 12 hours, I guess I better get to bed.
Oh... but I do have some pics to pass on...
