Brilliant! Well done, Craig. What a talented cast! I really hope this transfers to NYC, with this group of actors intact. I'm thrilled to see David Burtka back on stage and cannot wait to see what lies in this show's future! (crossing my fingers)

Very interesting that the songs were more or less adjusted to their singers. When I was there it was pretty cool how well the songs fit each actor.


Leaving in a few hours, to go up and see it again!


Well, I'm glad he got away with it.

For those interested, Kerry was on stage last night without the assistance of Doug Cohen :)

There are still a few (very few) tickets left to one of the performances - if you're in the area, you should check it out.

If that is true, to quote Paris Hilton, "that's hot!"

My girlfriend and I went last night and it just so happened to be the Q&A performance and each managed to ask a question! So not only was the show AMAZING, but to be able to chat with the cast and creative team was just the culmination of spectacular night.

So much so in fact, my girlfriend doesn't know this yet, that I just scored tickets again and we're going again on Friday.

As found out from the Q&A that with the good reviews, a lot of producers have been coming up to see the show so they're hoping to get it moved to New York. But Kaitlin would prefer it to be on Broadway since Off doesn't pay as much re: BWW TV Exclusive: The Opposite Of Sex

The cast is just as amazing and funny out of character as they are in. And it was great to see Kerry back on the road to a full recovery. I can't wait to see this show again, and I hope that one of those producers who came is smart enough to bring it to NY.

Turned out GREAT, Craig!

The production was amahzing. And how funny was Ian Scott McGregor? "Excuse me, sorry, my broker..."

Wow - was that like a 40 minute video? You made me late to rehearsal once again, BWW! :-P


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Craig man...

These BWW TV features that you create are so wonderful. It is really great to see behind the curtain in a way that is impossible any other way. Sure you can go to a talkback with the cast, but to score the director, cast, AND creator... sublime. They are edited quite well too. This was a great way to get psyched up for the show, and for people from the Great Lake states that unfortunately might not get to see it, to be familar with it nonetheless.

Thank you again.

Wow - Kaitlin Hopkins is a dead ringer for Karen Ziemba, who originated the role in San Francisco.
