I can't believe I'm saying this...but, the show is open! Fortunately a lot of the process has been documented in the Call-Back video episodes, so I haven't written much, but I'm thrilled to say the show seems to be a hit! The opening night crowd raved last night and I really have to say it's all becasue of the incredible cast. These five are so professional and talented and attractive that audiences so far really seem to fall in love with them. I thnk they could sing the phone book and crowds would cheer. But the fact that they are singing some of the most beloved music of the musical theatre just makes the evening even more - enchanted! Huntington Playhouse Managing Director Tom Meyrose told me at intermission that he was stopped many times by people raving about the show. He said another indicator of a please audience was how long they stayed at the opening night reception after the show. Well, they did stay. And I talked with many of them about what a fantastic cast was on that stage.
This show was a challenge. I had never directed a revue before and I've said...
