Anyone seen it or know anything about the upcoming production at THE OLD GLOBE?

Matt Bogart was supposed to be reprising his role, along with a few of the other original cast members. I think there are 4 new cast members - I think. This is the 3rd (?) production of the show. I hear the music is great, but haven't heard any of it myself.

I ask because I heard a rumor that a certain favorite performer of mine, of a recent short lived musical may now be involved.

Curtain, I believe she was offered another gig as well. Last I spoke to her she wasn't able to confirm which gig she chose and I haven't heard otherwise yet...

A friend of mine did the demo for this a couple years back... it's pretty cool to see it materializing. It's in Toronto now, correct?

I cannot speak more highly about Ace. It's BRILLIANT. I saw it in Cincy and I can honestly say it is probably the best new work I've seen in the past few years. The score is amazing and the story is compelling. I don't cry during musicals, and I thought it was a lot when I cried at the end of Act One, until I BAWLED throughout Act Two. The story is heartbreaking but inspirational . . . it's a truly amazing show. The entire cast in Cincy was great . . . Matt Bogart and Jessica Boevers were great, and the child actor (gah, I don't remember his name . . . ) was amazing. Basically, YAY ACE!

The kid was the best thing in the show, Matt was a little lackluster. Some of the songs are very good like "In These Skies," but then I felt like some of the songs were written in a musical theatre songwriting class. "Ok lets put a love duet in here and a french production number, a la Bring On The Men, here. Of the mother has to have a reprise of something so we can remember she is still in the first act." If they don't get that kid, Gavin . . . Something? Its funny I can't remember the most memorable part of the show. The story was a lot of fun and it was very original. I think that it needs a lot of work and some cuts. Then the show would be really a show to be seen.

What about the character who dies in the first act?
How were his songs?

He was my favorite character and had the best songs.

Wow, I didn't know anything about this show but I need to catch the show since Michael and James Judy are in it (Big River Alumni).

I'm already seeing 13 and Sunday (Reprise!) in L.A. between Jan/Feb, but I have to get down to San Diego too. It'll be busy Jan and Feb!
