After seeing Hugh 27 times (wife saw it 2

, it was amazing what he did night after night, and he didn't miss a single performance, even when injured. Every show was different, and his audience interactions were nothing like I've ever seen in the theatre.
John T. was great too, saw Ave Q a few times, but nothing like HJ. Also have seen John Ts show at Joes Pub, which was also great. I was thrilled that Ave Q beat Wicked (I've seen both) for the Tony (wife had a teenage gal wearing a witches hat and carrying a broom next to her), we had all the Ave Q understudies behind us up in the mezz (we were at the Tonys, mangaed to get 2 tickets, anmazing experience). I congratulated John Ts understudy in the lobby afterwards, they were all goin nuts.
Anyway - I really do hope that GV lasts awhile, we lived in Southern Cal (Redondo Beach LA actually!) for 5 years and saw lots of Beach Boys concerts... Couldn't get enough.
