Just fyi for anyone in the Midwest, I'll be playing "Miss Jones" in How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying at the Fireside Dinner Theatre in Fort Atkinson, WI from August through October. 
Should be fun!

Posted: 5/6/08 at 10:59pmhehehe... Yeah! And apparently, it's only an hour and a half from Chicago, just over a half-hour from Madison, and an hour from Wilwaukee. I've never been to Madison... I hear it's pretty nice!

Thats so awesome! I'm hoping to come see it. I live like 1 1/2 hours from there. I always see ads for Fireside on the Madison channel.
Congrats! I think you'll love it here in the midwest =]

I'm sure it'll be fine. My band toured the country years ago, and we gigged in Utah, Nebraska, Iowa, etc... I've just never been to Wisconsin. Anyway, it's about the show, not the town, and I'm looking forward to playing Miss Jones!

Posted: 5/7/08 at 9:18amCongratulations, Erika! Go stop the show now! I remember Lilias White blowing the roof off in the Broadway revival. Seriously, rock concert cheering after The Brotherhood of Man!

Thanks, jaystarr and yankeefan!
b12b: Well, we're doing the original, not the revival, so my Miss Jones sings operatically to the rafters (rather than gospel), so I'll just have to try and stop the show with my operatic chops instead of my belt! LOL (I'm actually really excited about singing soprano for a change!)

Congrats E! Madison is fantastic, especially being a college town makes it nice.
It reminds me of Eugene, OR where I went to college.
Make sure to go see the House on the Rock, amazing
