One other bit of info:

The lead actress is a Glendale College student, who just appeared there in Hair, as are many of the other cast members...

And evidently one of their parents has a large checkbook.

I'm going to take a wait and see attitude. The material is so powerful, and the chance to see the show so rare, that for me at least it's worth a visit. There's lots of young talent in L.A., so who knows--it could turn out to be quite a good production.

I will be there as well, it really is one of the finest scores in the last 10 years....and drastically overlooked by many...

Should be a fun night.
