This afternoon at City Center was one weird event.  The rehearsal went well, but for reasons I cannot print here, I felt I was as welcome as a case of crab or herpes.  I've never felt that before, but today I felt the old boys' club was deliberately shutting me out.  I also realized that a person I once considered a friend is someone I really do not like much at all.
On the positive side, I think the production will be a fine one.  the cast is very good, the score is good, the orchestra is excellent, although the script is not my cup of tea and i really don't like the characters much at all. 
It was also good to see my friend Bruce Pomahac.
