Even if I wasn't in this show, I would still be excited about it. I don't have a lot of "favorites" in life. I like a lot of stuff- and I try to only watch stuff I think or know I'll like. Well, ever since I heard this musical in 1997 on a concept cassette, I fell in love with the story and music- and its definitely a favorite. I've seen the Broadway tour, Pioneer Theatre Company, I was in it in 2005 (playing the same characters I'm playing now) at Hale, and now I'm in it again at Hale Center Theatre. This musical is powerful- and I don't get sick of a single song. It's even worth performing with 3 cracked ribs. My opening night is on Thursday- and it plays through June and July. Come see it!
Here are some highlights from when it was on Broadway 3 years ago:
