Congratulations, Addy. In answer to your question about how often do you get to write your own ticket in the corporate world? Never, for most people, so "make the moment last"!
And I saw Pacific Overtures Friday. It's not perfect, it's not as good as the Roundabout's Assassins, but less-than-perfect Sondheim is still better than almost anything else. It's worth seeing for songs like "Someone in a Tree" and "Chrysanthemum Tea" and "Pretty Lady." The production is also interesting, because the director is the first Japanese director ever to work on Broadway. He did this production in Japanese at Lincoln Center a while back.
B.D. Wong is one of those actors I could watch perform the proverbial phone book. However, he'd probably be a little better as the phone book than he is in this.
