Best of luck to casti and

Best of luck to cast and crew! This is a great show, one of the first shows I saw. Which is probably one of the reasons I love Sondheims work so much.

thanks sean

it's been a riot rehearsing this show and a fabulous cast! i still find myself in hysterics weeks into rehearsals. mind you i don't know if that says something about my sense of humour or if i'm just completely mad?!

No I don't think your mad.

No I don't think your mad. I still found myself laughing at jokes throughout a show's rehearsal period, on stage during the show and definately after the show watching the performances. _____________________________________________________________ Currently working on: "The Ultimate Broadway Musical" The Three-Person, Audience Interactive, Little Bit Of Improv, Mini-Musical event of 2007.
