well I saw the show last night and I have these good things to say:
- it was considerably more enjoyable without having to deal with the initial disappointment that came with seeing the La Jolla production. I went into it this time expecting a painfully bad show, and it was slightly better than that.
- Chuck Wagner was onstage
- Kelli O'Hara was onstage
- the book has been considerably cleaned up from La Jolla. While I couldn't sit thru 10 minutes of that production without inadvertently letting out an "Oh Christ!" or similar, I got thru the whole show last night with barely an audible chuckle
- Tom Hewitt has proven that he can do ANYTHING and keep a straight face! the man is a true performer and will be working for many years to come.
- the intermission was long enough to have several beers
