Today I’m off to see a friend’s closing matinee of CHICAGO at Marist College in Poughkeepsie. They mount handsome productions, and their cast is always exquisitely trained. Best of all, they hire out the full orchestra, everything that’s called for, and it’s a nice gig. I played the piano/celesta book in their HELLO, DOLLY! last year and subbed in ANYTHING GOES the year before, and would have played this one if not for my own show.
