Good Morning, my Hussys! Rath and I just went jogging along the Hudson River. She sends her love and kisses!
Little, brd? LITTLE?!!!
btw... brd, I ran into my friend that's in Pippin last night. The word is that Stephen Schwartz is actually significantly rewriting the show, changing the orchestrations (make it more modern) and changing the ending... they're making the show A LOT more flashy. Apparently this is the pre- pre-Broadway tryout of the revival. And there are some pretty well-known names in it.

Maybe he will finally get his Tony??? That is exciting. How was the show?
The show hasn't opened yet... I should have said 'ran into my friend that has been cast in Pippin..."
It does sound exciting. He threw several names at me last night, but me and my memory suck. Most of the principals are cast out of NYC.
Hey DD! Hope that's all true. I love Pippin!
Apparently Mr. Schwartz is going to be in town during most of the rehearsal process and all of the run, doing rewrites to the show. He said that they're approaching it almost as a workshop.

Hmmmm - Mr. Arden has been down in San Diego doing that new Tharpe/Dylan piece, so he's already on this coast . . .
I know they've already cast Pippin (local dude), though they don't have a Leading Player yet.

Well, maybe Michael will do the role in another place.
Maybe the pre-B'way.

Sam Harris did the Leading Player for Reprise, and as much as I loves me some Ms. Harris (what pipes!) it seemed a bit beyond his reach.

Just got off the phone with Stephen - I got the part. I hope the kids do not miss me too much!

Yay, I was thanked!!!
Big issues at Jersey Boys trying to get rush tickets for my mom this morning. No rush, but she got partial view for full price which sucks, but at least she will see it. Maybe Rent lotto tonight.
At least she was able to get tickets... are you going with her?
Nope, I have to work. Might see a show with her tonight. My aunt and uncle from Jersey are with her. I have to go back to try to get more rush tickets for other out of town guests later today. Busy day trying to get tickets, considering I am not seeing the show!
