I went to see the original show on Broadway TWICE to see Ben Vereen, and he was out both times lol."

Well, did you at least get to see John Rubinstein and Jill Clayburgh? How were they?"

Wonderful, everyone in the show was. Especially John Rubinstein's hair! I remember hiding behind Playbill when they tried to get people from front row up on the stage at the end. Very shy person!

That Leading Player's a little stiff.

According to the article, the production is running until September 19, then going onto a different city from the 23 until the 27. Maybe this is a more common place practice in Japan, but doesn't that seem like quite a short run for so much effort? Just a bit less than a month -- opens August 30, runs until September 19, then 4 more days. A big production for a small timeframe.

That's typical in Japan. Any production of ACL in the past 15-20 years has typically done that. Play 2-3 weeks at a time in 3 different cities.
