Hi everyone,
Sorry for this shameless self-promotion, but I'm hoping that some of the T.O. folks may be interested in joining us again at this year's show.

Mitchell,
I saw your production of tick, tick...BOOM! and loved it. I will definitely be seeing this several times. Oh and thank you for producing these new musicals in Toronto. Someone needs to.

Thanks Akiva.
I love these types of shows and was thrilled that there was such a strong audience response to tick, tick...BOOM!. john & jen is tricky since it is definitely not as well known. But (in my humble opinion) it is a gorgeous score and our cast is really kick-ass, so I hope Toronto gives it a chance as well!

Live in Chicago, so I can't come, but...
John and Jen is a great show... my theatre did it last year. It's very touching and does take an interesting look at family and relationships. I always cried at the end of act I.
Best of luck!

Posted: 1/5/06 at 12:20amI really enjoyed your TICK TICK BOOM too. And I thought Kyle Blair was fabulous in Stratford's INTO THE WOODS, so you're probably gonna see me at J&J.

Posted: 1/13/06 at 7:00pmWow, what a small world. I have a friend of a friend who's working with Acting Up in some capacity as a volunteer or a committee member or something like that, Mitchell. She's a U of T student, and her initials are A.M. :) I heard about J&J in Toronto. Best of luck with the show!
