Now, I'm not sure if any of you are aware of this, but a certain broadway radio DJ that we all know and love is producing The Last Five Years which just so happens to be opening tomorrow evening in Ottawa. I think many well wishes (and congratulations based on the videos)are in order. So Break a Leg Kris! Do you tell the producer break a leg or something else? Maybe "End the run in the red!" (just kidding). I wish you and everyone involved in the entire production well!

Hi guys!

Wow -- I've been away from the board since Monday and I came back to this, today. You're all SO sweet to think of me! I sent a link to this thread to the cast, too, and we're all flattered.

I finally got some sleep last night. Since the SURREAL Standing Ovations after-party (and the flight home at 7 AM on Monday), it's been non-stop last-minute preparation at the theatre. Last night was a smash success. I don't have the photos with me but will post a link tonight when I can: They're GORGEOUS. Based on the reactions from the press people I spoke to, the reviews will be outstanding, and hopefully we won't end the run in the red (we're remounting "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" in September [I'll be in that one] anyway, so if we end up in the hole on this one, we'll make up for it in spades)

I can't say enough about what working as a producer teaches you. I have never been more stressed out in my entire life, and I've never been so BROKE in my life, but the payoff is incredible. Sitting at the back of a house and watching an audience RAPT at something YOU helped make happen... it's an incredible feeling. I highly recommend the exquisite torture to anyone.

"...(we're remounting "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" in September [I'll be in that one]..." We love road trips!

Okay, kids... this probably isn't terribly kosher, but since some of you have expressed an interest in what the show is like, I've posted a few images. Jamie is played by Mark Swift and Cathy is played by Nicole Milne. Our first review of several will appear in the paper tomorrow -- advance word is that it's very positive

It's NEVER too late for a road trip!

Great pictures, and don't worry about being kosher. Since I asked how the show went, throw any and all accusations my way. After all, you were just responding to my request of how the show went.
