Everybody's Favorite Subject

There's been a lot of peripheral pain and sadness in my life this week. Not my own, but belonging to some very dear friends. I've been through several of those sort of conversations where you get to the end and can only conclude, "Wow, life is really tricky." Which offers no solace whatsoever.

Which is why you we all need to see a good pop-rock musical now and then. To lighten the load, as it were.

And I happen to know of just the thing...



I'm really happy with how things are going. Still a hundred and one pieces to settle into place, but the material is good, the actors are fabulous, the band will be stellar as always, and costumes and choreography continue to impress me.

As in DC, the collaborations we have happened into on this show - some by chance, some by association - have reminded me why I love dealing in a collaborative art form. I feel so lucky to have found the team we have assembled. And not just because they are talented, they are also lovely, warm, authentic people. And that doesn't always happen.

So come out and play with us.
