Emcee is almost more excited about it than I am.

Geez, y'all, how 'bout some respect?!

In all genuine seriousness, I hope he meets and exceeds your expectations. I know they're high, but... he's gonna blow you away.

I don't have time for a full-length review, but I will say that this production of Company is very good. Is it as perfect and amazing as I thought it would be? No. But I don't think tightening and whatnot will dramatically alter my opinion of the show.

It's kind of how I felt like after seeing Drowsy. It's a very very good show, but not as good as was expected.

SIGHTINGS: Sondheim was there, taking furious notes. He LOVED "Not Getting Married" and "Being Alive" which were also my favorites. John Doyle was there as well, although I didn't see him until I stagedoored.

Raul took a year and a half to come out, but it was totally and 100% worth it. We chatted a bit as he could see me from where I was sitting, so he remembered me. I acted like a child, of course, but he was so gracious. I love him!

Question: Will Esparza win for The Homecoming? BobbyBubby: I hope so. If only for the mental health of many people on this board.

Aww.

I'm glad you liked it even though not as much as you expected, though.

I'm often afraid I've hyped it up too much and that people who frequent these boards are going to be disappointed because of that. And... I thought it was what I express my opinions to be when I saw the Cincinnati production -- so I definitely go in to tomorrow expecting differences; some things fixed, and probably some new flaws, too. I think in some ways, I'm also almost secretly afraid. I know that there are going to be things they're still working through, and that they're still really getting on their feet, so I'm ready for there to be things that might not compare, because the Cincy production was *perfection.* But, transfers cause both loss and gain, so we'll see.
